It could be considered a less addressed aspect of Bourdieu’s work the study of the relationship between physical and social space and the putting into play of the different capitals for the access and differential appropriation of places and public goods and services, including school institutions. It is the aim of this text to recover the triallectic of symbolic, social, and physical spaces. The article discusses the issues related to the reification of social space and the validity of the notion of location gain as contributions to the understanding of how the spatial dimension intervenes in socio-educational segmentation. The school system is organized into segments according to the social classes they receive, fulfilling a function of social distribution, and legitimizing the differences that correspond to each origin group. These segments guide different social groups towards different types of education -for example, between general/ academic and technical education and between private and public education-; and towards different circuits or groups of educational institutions that resemble each other, but with dissimilar characteristics between the paths regarding buildings, human and material resources, access to transportation and environmental conditions that surround them.</p&gt;}, number={25}, journal={Religación}, author={Sassera, Jorgelina Silvia}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={89-103} }
