Zusammenfassung: | Men's rugby in Buenos Aires is going through a phase of professionalization and globalization which is blurring the long-standing link between that sport and the upper-middle and upper classes of the city. Based on two ethnographic studies of porteno (Buenos Aires) rugby players, this article analyses rugby as a space for the creation of "otherness" within the country as a whole, one which legitimizes Buenos Aires as the symbolic center of the nation to the detriment of its "interior". This phenomenon is reflected in the organization of the sport and the dispute between "amateurs" and "professionals", which in turn, has a moral aspect insofar as both sides claim that they are the true representatives of the nation. An analysis of the careers of well-known former rugby players from Buenos Aires throws light on attempts to construct a nationalism "with class" in the context of the new globalization of sports which shape narratives about national identity and class. Keywords: Thesaurus: nation; nationalism; global; class. Author's keywords: otherness; Buenos Aires. El rugby masculino en Buenos Aires atraviesa un proceso de profesionalizacion y globalizacion en el que se desdibuja su antigua referencia a sectores de clase media alta y alta locales. Basado en dos etnografias llevadas a cabo entre jugadores de rugby de Buenos Aires, el articulo analiza el rugby como un espacio para la produccion de formacion nacional de alteridades que legitima el centrismo porteno como simbolo de la nacion, en detrimento del "interior"; impacta en la organizacion del deporte y en la disputa entre profesionales deportivos y defensores del amateurismo, contienda que se entiende en terminos morales y en la potencia representacional de la nacion que se atribuyen unos y otros. La trayectoria de reconocidos exjugadores de rugby portenos permite comprender como se busca construir un nacionalismo "con clase" en relacion con un nuevo sistema global del deporte, donde se construyen narrativas nacionales diferentes y desiguales. Palabras clave: Thesaurus: nacion; nacionalismo; global; clase. Palabras clave de los autores: alteridad; Buenos Aires. O rugbi masculino em Buenos Aires passa por um processo de profissionalizacao e globalizacao no qual se desfaz sua antiga referencia a setores de classe media alta e alta locais.
