RESUMO

The present study begins with the reconstitution of the history of Higher Education Business Administration courses in Brazil, and aims at localizing one specific São Paulo-based private-sector school within the existing hierarchies in Higher Education and within the Business Administration Education field. All the students who took part in this investigation belong to this school referred to as University A. In regard to the position of Business Administration within the academic field a field which paradoxically combines knowledges and practices found in the tense boundaries between two antagonist worlds (homo academicuss and homo oeconomicuss) University A stands in an even more (scientifically) borderline space, in comparison to traditional or more prestigious schools. Considering that Administration Schools remain in a subordinate position in the academic world, a less traditional school such as University A is held in a doubly subordinate position, on the margins of the established Higher Educational system. After defining the position of University A within the Higher Education field and, subsequently, within the Business Education field, the present research explores qualitatively the senses of Higher Education and, specifically, Business Administration Education by students with low-economic capital and without schooling tradition, who find themselves in this doubly marginal field. Finally, the research aims at understanding how such Business Administration students respond and react individually i.e. in the micro-plan of their specific experience to recent social macro-changes (due to the broader process of productive restructuring) in terms of practices, choices and expectations, based on the social spaces in which they are situated.
