Among those elements that caused what we call cultural mutation, we include political pedagogy of university press, the spread of a revolutionary culture sustained by a cluster of discursive productions through instances of the institution itself as Radio UAS, University Bookstore, Editorial and changes to plans and programs of study that helped to politicize the spirits of dozens of young people who assumed that guerrilla violence was the way to transform the society.
