Abstract Exclusive boarding schools in social environments where the meritocratic norm is prevalent are faced with a tension between parents’ desire to give their children a head start in the competition for educational qualifications, social prestige and jobs on the one hand and the powerful social norm of advancement by merit under conditions of “equal opportunity” on the other. This article looks at how two exclusive boarding schools, Eton College in England and Schule Schloss Salem in Germany, deal with this double challenge in presenting themselves to their environment, attempting to preserve social legitimacy while staying attractive to their clientele. The article shows that the ways in which the schools deal with these conflicting demands depends strongly on the differing systems contexts they find themselves in.

脆弱的合法性:精英制与客户对竞争优势的渴望之间的独家寄宿学校

摘要在社会上普遍存在人格规范的寄宿制学校,一方面面对父母渴望让孩子在教育资格,社会声望和工作竞争中领先的愿望与强大的社会规范之间的紧张关系。另一方面,在“机会均等”的条件下,按功绩晋升。本文着眼于两所独家寄宿学校,即英国的伊顿公学和德国的舒勒·斯洛斯·塞勒姆,如何在向自己的环境展示自身的同时,在保持社会合法性的同时保持对客户的吸引力,来应对这一双重挑战。该文章表明,学校处理这些矛盾需求的方式在很大程度上取决于他们所处的不同系统环境。
