Abstract

PETRELLI, Lucía. The Presence Of Parents And The Configuration Of Teachers' Work In Educational Institutions: The Case Of A Private School In Buenos Aires City. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2008, n.9, pp.291-306. ISSN 1850-373X.

This article is based on the hypothesis that the particular shape teacher work takes in a private school in Buenos Aires City is related to the presence of pupils' parents in the institution. Under consideration are ideas about teacher work based on the anthropological relational school which recuperates the meanings produced by the different actors (teachers, pupils' parents) involved in the way specific problems are constructed. Here the great diversity that can be found in families' ways of being present at school is fore fronted, as it is considered that a comprehensive analysis of actors should not avoid their mutual relations. This will allow the contents of power relations existing between teachers and families in relation to their positions as regards schooling processes to be specified.

Keywords : School; Educational work; Families.
