This article analyzes the cultural meanings attributed to various figures of popular habitat in the period of urban growth in Rosario, Argentina. Through triangulation of different document types it shown how the representational frame of segregated spaces traced by the nineteenth hygienism categories continue works on diferents ways. The conventillo as a cultural form that expressed inequalities in urban space was spatially extended (from the center) to other forms (ranch, box, self-constructed housing) retaining the negative attributes that different voices articulated to name it. The emergence of the periphery as a material and symbolic expression of social disaffiliation is a continuation of that spatial imagination forged at the emergence of the modern city.

Keywords : conventillo; periphery; segregation; spatiality; Argentina.
