RESUMO

Public school education is one of the most important political arenas in Argentina. It is a paradox that the idea of political neutrality was one of the significant conditions for a relatively efficient action of the school and a collective perception of its equity. The disintegration of the National State and the socio-economical crisis aggravated since the mid 1990s provoked the erosion of this idea of political neutrality and the discredit of public school education. Both processes launch the emergence of politics in school, an exceptional process completely new in the traditional elementary school. I organized this ethnography around the dramatic narration of four episodes that show in detail the modes of making and being in politics that convene in the school. In this way, I describe the existence of three modes of political intervention in the daily school life. Those modes configure fronts in which different segments of the society are represented and in the school life. My description allows a better understanding of the links between the political fragmentation of the national state and the collective perception of a loss of prestige and structure of public schools. It also lets to an understanding of the partial attempts from the school actors to recompose that situation.during de political development of institutions.
