| Sumario: | This article identifies and characterizes the representations that young people from different Argentine social classes build on their class position and the positions of others. In particular, we seek to understand the symbolic dimension of inequality, investigating on which basis representations, otherness, hierarchies, distances, and closeness are built with those people who are considered similar and with whom they are visualized as different. The methodological strategy involved conducting 18 biographical interviews with men and women from different social classes from Gran La Plata. The people interviewed were part of the economically active population and were selected through an intentional sample. The data analysis was carried out following the proposal of the «socio-hermeneutic discourse analysis obtained in the biographical interviews» and with the assistance of Atlas ti. The results indicate that the representations of class positions are configured around processes of material and symbolic inequality and, within the latter, from othering and hierarchizations based on different cleavages that are assumed to be "natural" and are experienced as part of daily life and on a routine basis. Last, we found that family level of education, lifestyle and consumption are heavy markers of difference and inequalities regarding class positions. |
