The article describes and interprets the social meanings and practices constructed and carried out by residents and non-residents, through the analysis of the (non-) uses of amenities and the value of space created by (non-) users. The (non-)use of amenities is examined by the practices of showing off, circulating and avoiding, intersected by native categories of middle class. In addition, the article analyses how high-end yet financed residential typology is materialized and sold. This paper assumes a processual and relational perspective to produce an “insider and a close-up view” (Magnani, 2002) of how social differences are made. El artículo pretende desentrañar las lógicas de producción de distinción social en un barrio cerrado en altura en Córdoba, Argentina. Para ello, retomamos un trabajo etnográfico, con el objetivo de describir e interpretar la diversidad de sentidos y prácticas que los residentes y no residentes construyen y despliegan, por medio del análisis de las relaciones entre los (no) usos de los amenities y el valor del espacio creado por los (no) usuarios. Abordamos el (no) uso de los amenities mediante las prácticas de ostentar, circular y evitar, atravesadas por categorías nativas de clase media y cómo se concreta y vende la tipología residencial de estilo superior pero financiada. Para el análisis adoptamos una perspectiva procesual y relacional, que nos permite conocer “de cerca y desde adentro” (Magnani, 2002) cómo se producen las diferenciaciones sociales.
