BAUTISTA BRANZ, Juan. Being close to Europe . Sport, social class and prestige in Argentina. Reflexiones [online]. 2016, vol.95, n.1, pp.131-142. ISSN 1659-2859.

The following article suggests thinking about social class linked to sport as a space of sociability and distinction in Argentina. Through the idea that social classes are constituted and are thought, analytically, in motion, it is investigated how subjects practicing rugby, in La Plata, give meaning to their social, economic, political and cultural position in direct relation to sport recreated collectively by dominant sectors in the city. Rugby in Argentina, is a sport historically conceived and practiced by minority groups, it is not an activity of mass participation. The analysis investigates how social and cultural influences from France and England, patterned -and pattern- a particular way of perceiving the world among men who play rugby in Argentina, exceeds the athletic field. The challenge of this work is to understand the dynamics of these spaces, from the cultural dimension of social class, while organizing practical experience, expanding the restricted economic definition.

Palavras-chave : Rugby; Dominant sectors; Distinction; Sociability; Legitimacy.
