Cyberspace houses the new universe of knowledge
The writer and political activist Patrícia Galvão, known as Pagu, in a portrait taken in 1941 by photographer Kauffmann


Cyberspace is changing the paradigms of knowledge and information, becoming an important vector of democratization, access to work and personal development. The assessment is by Spanish professor Javier Bustamante Donas, from the Complutense University of Madrid, who currently holds a chair at the Geosciences Institute at Unicamp. Philosopher and amateur astronomer, Bustamante discovered a supernova in 1994. Pages 6 and 7


Violence and depredation scare the university

The events of July 2, when the Unicamp Rectory was invaded and vandalized by around 300 people who were participating in an event organized by Fórum das Seis, still resonate in the community. Seven doors were broken into (on the right), windows were broken and walls were sprayed with graffiti. On page 7, political scientist Walquiria Leão Rêgo (on the left), from IFCH, analyzes the recent “hooded phenomenon”, which is thriving today and now also affects universities. “In whose name do they speak? Who are they?” she asks. Pages 3 e 4
