FARIAS, Ariel Hernán. Class ethos and distinctions: social representations of marginalized fractions of the working class in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Culturales [online]. 2018, vol.6, e335. ISSN 2448-539X.  https://doi.org/10.22234/recu.20180601.e335.

This article analyzes the forms in which the social representations of marginalized workers of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires are organized in the field of work. We were interested in approaching our object from its connection with two main problems: On the one hand, the problem of the construction of the class ethos between different fractions of marginalized workers. In this sense, we investigate the densities assumed by the wage-earner elements as a socio-historical configuration in the languages ‘on the interviewees’ work. On the other hand, to analyze the problem of the distinctions within the marginalized fractions, we inquire into the ways in which different profiles of marginalized workers construct “we” and “them”. Among the main results we observe that the dimensions of the class ethos assume different hierarchies between the different profiles studied, and that these differential modalities support the process of constructing distinctions between the subjects.
