Artikel social representations theory:
● Social representations are about processes of collective meaning making resulting in
common cognitions which produce social bonds uniting societies, organizations and
groups
● Durkheim’s concept ‘collective representations’ refers to common ways of
conceiving, thinking about and evaluate social reality → does not catch the dynamics
of and changeable character, nor the variability and plurality of social cognitions of
the age in which we now live
● Social representations may be considered as thoughts in movement developing
through communication
● Moscovici said that individuals contribute to the formation of social representations
in the interplay between social structure and individual → by giving the individual
some room the theory of social representations avoids social determinism and opens
for processes of transformation (still the individual is mainly embedded in and
formed by social structures)
❖ Emphasis on how representations arise through social interaction and
communication between individuals and groups
● Social representations are about different types of collective cognitions, common
sense or thought systems of societies or groups of people → always related to social,
cultural and/or symbolic objects, they are representations of something
● Cognitive polyfasia refers to the fact that everyday thinking about something may be
characterized by different, sometimes opposite, forms of thinking
● Three types of social representation:
1. Hegemonic representation: uniform and prevail in all symbolic or affective
practices, shared by most members of a political party/nation (ex. climate
change conceived of as a threat to human life)
2. Emancipated representation: relates to subgroups that create their own
versions with a certain degree of autonomy with respect to the interacting
segments of society (ex. representation of health and illness could lead to
public pick up ideas of both and combine with their experiences of health and
illness)
