Abstract

This work consists on the study of the intellectual proposition developed by Florestan Fernandes from 1969 to 1983, which respectively seal his compulsory retirement and is adherence to a periodical dialogue with the public throughout his collum on written press. During this time, he had been out of the universitary institution and the Party aswell. An important parcel of his work ever since produced borns under the sign of a self reflection - it consists on balances about his own intelectual path, Sociology and the difficulties concerning the social sciences formation in Brazil - and the discursive coercion liberation which the institutional fields promote. The examination of this group of texts broaches the set of problems which is the sociologist\'s main subject studied by his reviewers: the balance between his political and academic performance (AU)
