Abstract

This article is developed around Design, and its social positioning as a profession. It is established that in the professional fields there are rules, powers, conflicts and permanent scrutinies necessary for the update and validity of its postulates. Milestones related to its history and knowledge is presented, as attempts to legitimize its position within the framework of the social division of labor. We maintain that the teaching centers are intensely interpellated by students, employers, professional communities and society, being essential to know how the microsystem of academic design has operated, what questions are asked by the institutions, and how, and from where are they attempted? With this, the harmony with working times, the manufacturing industry, and the expectations of the new generations demand the establishment of certainties about Design exclusive knowledge. Methodologically, this work is carried out through interviews with a group of relevant actors and reviews of secondary sources and Grounded Theory.
