Sumario:This article aims to analyze the moral repertoires that agents of different class positions use to legitimize and challenge social inequality in Gran Córdoba, Argentina. To do so, it recovers both the stories of the agents trajectories and their valuations over access to economic and labor resources. It also explores the ambivalence of those logics and their translation into practical senses of symbolic distinction. The data of this research were obtained using a combination of methodologies of multivariate statistical processing —for the reconstruction of the social structure of Cordoba and qualitative methodologies (in-depth interviews and ethnographic records between 2012 and 2015).
