Resumo
O artigo examina o contexto e possíveis efeitos sociopolíticos da adoção de infraestruturas e serviços de tecnologias de comunicação corporativos no ambiente educacional e universitário brasileiro. Tomando o caso específico dos acordos entre universidades públicas brasileiras e a suíte de aplicativos educacionais da empresa Google, objetivamos refletir sobre sua economia política informacional, baseada em mecanismos de controle e vigilância dos dados digitais, e problematizar a emergência de novas formas de conhecimento e exercício do poder.
