Description
Summary:Universities fulfill a social role and, therefore, are the objects and subjects of public policies of the countries, which exert different influences on them. This debate has been especially hostile towards universities with Catholic identity; in fact, there is little research on how such polciies influence the exercise of their university functions, despite the presence they have maintained in the history of Western institutions. Recently, the connection or third mission as an institutional function has been given greater imporance and it is worth asking how Catholicism influences the forms of connection with the environment, or if the institutional provisions are only mediated by the contexts in which they operate. In order to try to answer these questions, the institutional discourse was analyzed through a corpus of documents, understanding this as the constructor of a matrix of intelligibility for the action of the subjects. Two dissimilar contexts were analyzed: the German and the Chilean. This comparison allows us to recognize that, although the contexts exert important differences in the ways in which they respond to their particularities, catholicity enables a discourse that transcends the context, without antagonizing the university function.
