These articles is inspired on the sociology of academic field of Pierre Bourdieu and on the tradition of structural analysis of the history of the USP to, by the reconstruction of its social structure, analyze its most important symbolic representation: the crest. The article shows that the USP social structure is better described by an opposition between its traditional professional pole and its academic-scientific pole. To do so, it mobilizes the data available in the USP Statistical Yearbook and Fuvest Socioeconomic Questionnaire, and performs an iconographic analysis of the USP Coat of Arms.
