Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze, based on Georg Simmel’s contributions, how the University in the city republics of Ouro Preto are organized from the relations of power and subordination among freshmen students and veteran students. Traditionally denominated by "mobs", in Ouro Preto, the freshmen go through "battles" to be accepted in particular as both federal republics. The data collection process took place through triangulation of the following techniques: semi-structured interviews carried out with fourteen academic federal republics, in the city of Ouro Preto; non-participant observation and documentary analysis. The data collected were treated based on content analysis technique (BARDIN, 1977). What is observed is that, unlike the business organizations, relationships of subordination (and power) are not so unbalanced – perhaps by the steady stream of Republics and the turnover of its members.
