Analisis de un club en la ciudad de Buenos Aires

Abstract

In this text we try to present the symbolic dimension of the culture as that one capable of propitiating social cohesion. We think that the culture operates like joint of the forms of social links, that is to say, facilitating the links and the network of exchanges between persons yet in unfavorable circumstances. We analyze the case of the European Club in City of Buenos Aires with the intention of detailing an experience that exists in spite of the crisis that devastated the Argentina postconvertibility 2001 . It is an invention made in Buenos Aires, a form destined for the meeting with the others, that is to say, a space like housing. It is a configuration that was created not only to enjoy the daily life but also the intention of sheltering the differences and of strengthening the social links in a context sociohistoric in crisis.
