The purpose of this paper is to discuss the centrality of both the school and the medias as legitimating matrixes of cultural practices among young people. Taking into consideration the idea of school as a space able to produce “habitus dispositions”, a modus operandi of ideas and behaviours for choices in cultural and leisure matters, I consider it important to identify and to analyse the range and the limit of this institution in the context of 21st century societies. Furthermore, aware of the strong presence of the media in the youngsters’ universe (TV, phonographic or fictional), I seek to problematize the relations of interdependency that the media have with the school as well as its strengths in the formation process of a social segment precociously socialized by the media. In substantiation of this argument, I then provide a brief analysis of cultural preferences among students attending private school in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
