Abstract
The inquiry into consequences of inequality has been an important research topic for several years to date. However, few studies have addressed this issue from the perspective of understanding which consequences found affect directly the reproduction and maintenance of a certain social stratification. This research aimed to investigate the characteristics of symbolic play in early childhood (3-5 years) in Santiago de Chile, order to access the earliest forms of subjectivity and understand from their differences in identification and transmission transgenerational content which explain the reproduction of inequality. Using the methodology of clinical observation of children’s play, children 3 to 5 years were observed in the educational and family space. Seven dimensions of differentiation with which the characteristics of two modes of play were identified.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
