Abstract
The structural transformations that have taken place since the last quarter of the 20th century in our country have not only modified the composition of the upper groups of the social scale but also altered their mechanisms of social promotion. In the school field, the processes of mobility are expressed in the disputes, tensions and uncertainties that mark the mechanisms of reproduction of educational privilege in Argentina today.
The thesis is interested in the dynamics inscribed in the school stakes in the City of Buenos Aires, paying particular attention to the symbolic struggles and redefinitions involved in the strategies of social reproduction at the economic peak of the private educational sector in Buenos Aires. The general argument of this thesis argues that the recent processes of recomposition of the dominant groups in Argentina in the framework of the process of deregulated diversification of private supply in that period, delineate a complex scenario that problematizes the processes of selection, appropriation and transmission of the rewards associated with the school stakes.
The study focuses on the school stakes (family and institutional) that are deployed at the economic apex of the private educational sector in the City of Buenos Aires. On the one hand, it analyzes the competitive dynamics between school universes that struggle to impose exclusivity criteria and defend control over access to a set of resources defined as relevant. Secondly, it shows how the processes of social mobility raise disputes that exacerbate intra-group tensions when the institutional barriers for the transmission of privileges become fragile in the face of the logic of market competition.
Based on Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical perspective and on later recoveries that investigate the complexity of the links between positions and practices in the school environment, the following questions are posed to the phenomenon of educational privilege: How does the dynamics of social selection in the national educational system imprint heterodox features to the problem of school privilege in Argentina? How do broader changes in the social structure and in the international educational field alter the traditional dynamics of the construction of school privilege in Argentina? How is the current map of school opportunities delineated in this scenario? What strategies do institutions and families deploy to temper or encourage the changes underway? What gains in terms of school and social cultural capital do these strategies translate into? And finally, to what extent is the relative position of the Argentine school field in the international space a relevant factor to understand the scope and limits of pedagogical projects within the framework of the current process of internationalization of studies?
We will approach these questions from a perspective that integrates different types of qualitative data: ethnographic recording techniques such as participant observation and non-directive interviews with surveys and in-depth interviews with management teams and families whose children attend the most expensive private schools in the City of Buenos Aires.
