description This article contrasts the demands of two of the main student movements known in Latin America during the third quarter of the 20th century, those of Brazil and Mexico in 1968. This is an original task in that the investigations in this field have mainly focused only on one movement and, in addition, have prioritized the analysis of what was their most dramatic dimension: politics. This means that here, not only are both movements addressed, but also their political and educational aspects are studied in an integrated manner. In order to carry out this task, a historical methodology was employed which included a review of the main primary and secondary sources. This exercise concluded that these movements effectively constituted groups of protests against authoritarianism as well as spaces for the defense of university autonomy and the promotion of a university that was more involved in social issues.

This is an original task in that the investigations in this field have mainly focused only on one movement and, in addition, have prioritized the analysis of what was their most dramatic dimension: politics.

This exercise concluded that these movements effectively constituted groups of protests against authoritarianism as well as spaces for the defense of university autonomy and the promotion of a university that was more involved in social issues. En el artículo se contrastan las demandas de dos de los principales movimientos estudiantiles que conociera América Latina durante el tercer cuarto del siglo XX, los de Brasil y México en 1968. Tarea original en la medida que las investigaciones en este campo han tendido a enfocarse solo en un movimiento y, además, han priorizado el examen de la que fuera su dimensión más dramática: la política. Eso significa que aquí no solo se abordan ambos movimientos simultáneamente, también se estudian de manera integrada sus planos políticos y educacionales. Para llevar adelante esta tarea se desplegó una metodología histórica que contempló la revisión de las principales fuentes tanto primarias como secundarias. Este ejercicio permitió apreciar que estos movimientos efectivamente fueron enjambres de protestas contra el autoritarismo, pero también permitirá observar que fueron tanto espacios de defensa de la autonomía universitaria como de promoción de una universidad más involucrada con los problemas sociales. Cet article se propose de contraster les demandes des principaux mouvements étudiants en Amérique latine dans les années 60, à savoir ceux de Brésil et du Mexique. Il est important de remarquer qu’il s’agit là d’une approche originelle puisque ces mouvements sont étudiés ordinairement séparément et en privilégiant leur dimension politique. En ce sens, on propose d’étudier ces mouvements simultanément et en intégrant l’aspect politique et l’aspect éducatif. La consultation des sources permet d’apprécier que ces mouvements étudiants se sont mobilisés contre l’autoritarisme, mais il s’avère également important de noter qu’ils prétendaient défendre l’autonomie universitaire en tant qu’espace de promotion d’une université plus engagé dans les problèmes sociaux.
