Abstract

The following article aims to elaborate a detailed approach, from the conceptual resources provided by the Theory of Autopoietic Social Systems developed by Niklas Luhmann, about the semantic drift that has highlighted the notion of freedom, based on the major reforms that occur from the public apparatus in relation with the educational field. From the above, we have selected four historical periods that represents particular importance for the development of the analysis, as they contribute to observe the most significant changes in the regulatory frameworks that fit the idea of freedom mentioned above. Likewise, we emphasize the effervescence of the protest movements linked to student demands, while they allow us to contemplate detours and irritations that tends to interpellate the state scaffolding. According to these premises, we will denote the mechanisms with which the State has processed such social demands, considering for this, their self-descriptions of his role, the regulations that has raised and the theming of the relevant aspects in the discourse of protest movements.
