PIERELLA, María Paula  and  SANTOS SHARPE, Andrés. Admission to the public university: Disputes around the principles of justice and equality in the Argentine graphic press. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2019, n.51, pp.93-107. ISSN 1995-7785.

In this article we analyze the debates that took place in the graphic press about the unrestricted system and the gratuity at the public university in Argentina, after the enactment of the Law on the Effective Implementation of State Responsibility at Higher Education level Nº 27204 (2015), from the analysis of notes published in three newspapers of national scope: Clarín, La Nación and Pagina/12. We are interested in analyzing the processes of production, circulation and recognition of discourses in order to identify the traces of the production conditions of such discourses in different political-philosophical traditions, focusing on the conceptions of justice, equality and education. With that objective, we made a theoretical tour of these concepts, we situate them historically in relation to the Argentine university tradition and we identify the main axes of the media debates that are linked to these traditions. Finally we give an account of the media devices put into play in relation to unrestricted entry and university gratuity.

Keywords : Public university; Admissions system; Equality of opportunities; Discourse analysis; Graphic media.
