Sumario: | This paper analyzes processes of legitimization of socio-educational inequalities in secondary schools fo-cusing on the production of asymmetries based on the affirmation of distances with respect to “the others” in prestigious institutions dependent on a National University in Argentina. The methodological approach was based on a multiple case study. Between 2012 and 2016 were made observations, documentary analy-sis, 13 in-depth interviews with “key” actors and 67 semi-structured interviews with teachers. The results show multiple and overlapping processes of “self-legitimization by distancing”: the “others” are the de-pendent schools of the Province of Buenos Aires, the private schools, the other undergraduate schools or the other specialty. Borders are mobile: a work of hierarchy consolidates these schools into an elite place. |
