PEREIRA, Gilson R. de M.. How to join cultural contents: the school and the symbolic capital revenue law. Educ. Soc. [online]. 1997, vol.18, n.60, pp. 36-50. ISSN 0101-7330.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-73301997000300003.

Based on the analysis realised by Bourdieu of the educational practice, the study examines the specificity of the school paper in social reproduction and explores the logic of the introduction of the teaching system in the production process and circulation of symbolic possessions. It shows the relationships that the school maintains with the law of return of the symbolic capital and broaches the determinations of the linguistic capital in the success and failure in schools.
