| Summary: | “Respect for diversity” included in normative and curricular texts on Argentinean educative system represent an opportunity to reflect about cultural relativism in its potential for criticism and its limits as a moral principle. This article analyzes the uses of precepts that emerge at schools as a product of a contradictory bond between contemporary democratic principles for the institution and conceptual frames about social life and learning. Also, this article aims to relocate relativism’s analytic capacity as a tool against ethnocentrism, both in order to both elaborate the inherent conflict on school’s practices and also as a cultural critique –sensitive to that institution’s specific logic–. |
