La difícil herencia: disposiciones y trayectorias sociales en dos grupos familiares del sector informal, en el mercado de abastos de Juliaca-Perú

Abstract

The present research seeks to discover the dispositions in two family groups and how it is transferred from the parents to the children, who work in the informal sector, in Juliaca, Peru. To this end, we begin by discussing informal work in Latin America and Peru. Then, in the theoretical chapter of the research, Pierre Bourdieu's perspective is presented in order to finally present Bernard Lahire's interpretative model of the "Plural Man". Next, the research object and methodology are summarized. The analysis is divided into two sections: the first is aimed at reconstructing the social profiles of the participants. Then, a cross-checking of the parents' and children's dispositions is carried out in order to show the family configurations. Finally, final considerations are presented. As a main result, heterogeneous family configurations with commercial dispositional characteristics and professional dispositions are observed in the studied families.
