Abstract

This article derives from a socio-anthropological research about experiences in high school of young people from contexts of urban poverty in Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina). We recover a social category which allows identifying meanings and practices constructed by male and female students in relation to attending school: the notion of «rescue», used to both express the passage from a way of life and behavior that students attribute to «the street» to other one associated with school. Although we also found evidence relativizing this construction of meaning as such practices overlap from time to time.

Keywords:
