ABSTRACT
The impacts of the neoliberal bias under the command of the market and control of the State have been manifested in the daily actions of the university teaching and researching. The knowledge-producing subject is being disqualified from quantitative politics imposed by the evaluation policies however their practice effectively falls within the local communities and these actions do not always become visible. The objective of this study was to analyze what is being considered as truth for the university, unveiling other instances of its action, little known as are those actions with local/regional relevance. The methodology used was qualitative research, case study, in which the locus and corpus of analyzes were the research productions of the Post-Graduation Program in Education Unemat, Brazil. The actions captured, invisible to the evaluations, show knowledge, perceptions and actions that happen in the different campuses of the university. They were mapped according to the territories in which they occur. Such actions strengthen regionalization and they have effects on local subjects and contexts. These actions are not yet captured by indicators and evaluation criteria of the large-scale measures that affect graduate programs and research. From such counter-hegemonic actions results an ‘emerging social knowledge’. We bring to this text the evidence that local-regional knowledge, Emerging Social Knowledge, can also be internationalized by becoming Glocal Knowledge, being local, regional and global at the same time.
