I. - Living in a more or less civilized during the Medieval period, was to live within the limits of walled city. The walls of the city represent a powerful image: These are erected to protect the men from the ravages of a savage and uncivilized world in which the guarantees of individual survival were referred to the logic of supra-subordination that occurs between Feudal Lord's servants and as a result of the 'frauds of hands'. Institution through which 'closes' a commitment that includes bondage, in exchange, military protection and the establishment of certain guarantees for individual and group survival. Defined, thus, a safeguard mechanism that allowed the reproduction of public life on the understanding that it was structured in the markets and in the courts, being those sites where it was natural that the population was found to exchange goods, to learn about the daily news or listen to the mandate that was established the hierarchical structure of medieval power.
In general, the Middle Ages is considered a time marked by obscurantism. The breakdown of the Roman organization caused by the barbarian invasions and the deconsolidation of the empire gradually gave rise to local authorities computers, whose power was limited and needed to be defended permanently in the midst of a circumstance in which the absence of roads and interconnection problems made life in society, civilized life possible only within the walled city. The walls, therefore, guaranteed a level of security for those who were within its boundaries, while setting out a clear differentiation between those who belong and those who do not, the scope of the group that were contained within them. The walls allowed a clear differentiation between them, not only made it possible to stay out who did not belong to the political community, but also defined who belonged to that.
Throughout the medieval period occurs, however, a crucial event in the history of humankind: knowledge is safeguarded and passed down from generation to generation through the manual reproduction of books containing the thoughts of the ancient world. The dark gloomy medieval monasteries with its spacious halls and rooms for silent meditation, not only constituted the central axis of political intrigue and the exercise of power, but additionally formed in the shelter of knowledge that had developed during the to sleepy old but distant in time, for nearly ten centuries. When we observe the art of the period, particularly the iconography, we find a representation Standing about God and about the divine, the men were, after all, based on their relationship with God.
So men, generic, existed and were recognized as human beings in terms of their potential as long as there were an identifiable relationship with God. The individuality of the subjects was diluted at the end of his relationship with divinity and in terms of fulfilling its mandate. God was the center of the universe. Political power is legitimized by the 'anointing' that came from God and the church and was by way of mandate was provided by the recognition that the Church of Rome to the same. So, sorry for the digression, the image of Napoleon taking the crown with his own hands and placing itself is so powerful: we are saying, but if you come to analyze the character, that the legitimacy of his power is a divine origin, but is earthly, which implies a profound break with the church's claim to monopolize the exercise of political legitimacy.
Then, it was precisely in that process of transcription and protection of ancient thought in which he played the chance to rediscover the spirit of humanity and the essence of man as the core of public coexistence. Not in vain Popper notes that the work of libraries as collectors and protectors of human knowledge has been essential to the evolution of our modern forms of collective organization. Should there be a nuclear holocaust - refers Popper, in which small groups of people survived and at the same time, some libraries were saved from destruction, the survivors would be able to use the knowledge on the books and from there restart venture to establish a mechanism for civilized human society. In the event that the libraries were destroyed civilization would have to start from scratch. In the preservation of ancient texts establishing the seed that led to the Renaissance.
II. - From a statutory perspective our university has a Republican character. From its medieval origins have inherited the structure of the University Senate and a hierarchical order that is defined from the system of promotion within the university ranks. But equally, we inherited a picture that has led us to look at us to stay within and distant from the world around us. Certainly, the university has a responsibility to protect knowledge, but also has the responsibility to produce and reproduce it in terms that can be transmitted to students. That knowledge must be relevant to the development of the country, for it must be updated, it must include theoretical and conceptual categories consistent and have a high degree of relevance, but additionally must provide the graduates a set of tools that will enable the successful and competitive manner in the workplace and contribute to the maintenance of public space which is produced by our cohabitation as a collective.
already said Ortega y Gasset, the University is not responsible for producing scholars and / or genius, this is an individual activity that they undertake to decide to advance their lives over what Weber has called "the path of the sages' . The University, however, has a responsibility to help their graduates acquire a series of conditions that allow them to lives their lives to be relevant in the sense that it entails, as Sen would say, live a life worth living.
University's mission is not limited to training students to acquire, on the contrary that essential function must be complemented by research and university extension. The work of the University should 'play' on two levels: Inward with respect to the consolidation of its functional structure and out in what he has to do with his own position facing the country. On the first aspect is necessary to strengthen and improve teacher performance, through the continuous updating of the increase in salaries, the establishment of incentives and labor demands. But also by the replacement of positions, open competitive examinations, downsizing Chairs and Departments. Outward
need to do more permeable walls symbolically separate the university in the country, that for the purposes of the institution to a more direct impact on the process of development. The University needs to spill over the country, imbuing it with his example, his ability to build from deep reflection and with tolerance. The university is by definition an area for discussion with respect, a place where we all fit with the differences that may exist, a place where the dialogue should be permanent. To do this, I think, is necessary to establish a greater number of networks and interconnections in which insertion. The substantive contribution of the University of our time has to do with its own constitution in an area for the construction of the public, to the confluence from the difference, for the aggregation cooperative. Like the medieval libraries University's mission is to safeguard the knowledge to protect, to produce and transmit, at the same time it is in an area for construction of public space and to protect the values \u200b\u200bthat guide our collective life.
