Abstract

Currently, some challenges are confronting our collective capacities to deal with drastic disruptions in our space-time experiences. If we focus on problems related to higher education, especially in Brazil, the pandemic challenges the very existence of the university and related institutions - as we know them, at least; from the advance of neoliberal ideology to the establishment of the pandemic of the new coronavirus, conflicts and contradictions that ensue lead us to inquire about what would be structural changes or momentary adaptations in such a context. Thus, in this article, we seek to raise some questions about the reality of higher education and the emergence of the pandemic, replacing possibilities of meaning that are at risk of being made invisible in the face of a health crisis that reverberates other crises and that continues to take lives around the world.
