BAYON, María Cristina  and  SARAVI, Gonzalo A.. School Experience as a Class Experience: Moral Boundaries, Stigma and Resistance. Desacatos [online]. 2019, n.59, pp.68-85. ISSN 2448-5144.

Moral and symbolic dimensions play a key role in the production and legitimation of inequality, and they remain under-explored in Latin America. This article makes a contribution for filling this gap by analyzing the school experience of lower social classes adolescents as well as the values, stigma and classifications constructed on their educational trajectories, achievements and schools. The discussion focuses on the cultural and moral framework that legitimizes and consolidates class inequalities in Mexico, and its implications on the social and subjective experience of individuals.

Keywords : social inequality; class experience; sociology of education; symbolic boundaries; working class.
