THE IDENTITY CONSTITUCION PROCESS OF THE SUBJECTS THAT MAKE UP THE EAD OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF GOIÁS (UEG): NA EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

This article has the objective to raise some reflections about the institutional positioning of the  State University of Goiás (UEG)  in relation to the social actors that make up the distance modality, in the Centro de Ensino e Aprendizagem em Rede ( CEAR). The author's interest in focusing on this theme came from concerns arising from her own experience as a professor at this university, so it is not surprising that the "experience report" is the methodology chosen for this research, since it consists of examining events, from the comprehensive perspective of those who experienced them. Using this contribution, based on the analysis of the teaching/research/extension axis, the aim is to understand how the institution's political configuration influences the process of identity construction and, in turn, of power "disputes" between the agents that in it are inserted. In this sense, institutional practices that generate exclusion in relation to CEAR participants are observed, but, as Stuart Hall (2005) addresses, identities are fluid and can be reconfigured, providing opportunities for transformations that result in the recognition of distance education as of equal (nor greater or lesser) importance, in relation to the presence, within the UEG.
