Abstract

 

 This article studies the teaching experience of social sciences professors during a writing seminar “the art of writing a thesis” provided at the Social Sciences Ph.D. in the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) during the first four months of 2013 and 2014. From a cultural outlook, it seeks to reconstruct both the institutional decisions made to promote studentship follow-up strategies and the students lettering imaginaries and practices. This idea defines the writing production as an expression of a larger context of academic tradition. Through reflections on this production context, the aim is to enrich the look on postdoctoral teaching and to contribute to the redefinition and curriculum design of writing courses at the postgraduate level.
