Spanish term

narrativas des/valorizantes

Spanish to English Social Sciences Economics human geography
This is from a summary of a proposal for a somewhat pretentious project on socio-spatial fragmentation in Spanish cities. I am slightly lost as to how to render this:

Una de las hipótesis plantea que la reconfiguración física y social habría resultado en una creciente fragmentación socioespacial. Otra apunta que en las ciudades medias el tamaño y la escala inciden en una menor diferenciación social y que, a falta de distancia física entre los grupos, se despliegan otro tipo de mecanismos de distinción (barreras físicas, simbólicas y narrativas des/valorizantes) que el proyecto trata también de abordar.

I am also constrained by having to keep to a certain number of characters so cannot really paraphrase much.

pro/anti narratives

The ST is looking at ways distinctions are made between social groups, and each mechanism has two facets:
barriers, be they physical or symbolic
narratives, be they 'pro' or 'anti'
