Ni herois ni víctimes. Representació social del càncer i dels malalts de càncer
2012
Les representacions socials del malalt oncològic proporcionen les nocions i les teories que fan estables i eficaces les relacions que estableix amb el seu entorn. Aquest procés té repercussions en l'estigmatització i la categorització dels malalts oncològics que sovint són vistos i es veuen a si mateixos com a víctimes o com a herois. Tanmateix, malgrat la rellevància del problema en la psicologia social, són pocs els estudis que s'han preocupat d'analitzar- lo. El present article té per objecte l'anàlisi de la representació social del càncer i del malalt oncològic en la població espanyola. Amb aquest fi utilitza associacions lliures i preguntes obertes realitzades a una mostra de dos-cents…
Mixing against culture vs mixing against nature: ontologization of prohibited interethnic relationships.
2009
In this paper, we develop the theory of ontologization: Social representations that prevent members of minority and majority groups who are living in contact with each other to mingle. The process of ontologization consists of separating some humans from their own species, and anchoring them in another environment, that of an animal, for example. We propose that underlying the famous slogan "equal but separate" is the social representation of interracial mixing as a "counter-nature" phenomenon. It is predicted that a sexual relationship between people of different "races" leads to a greater degree of ontologization, and, as such, this miscegenation will be explained in terms of biologistic …
Educational styles, peers’ approval and adolescent self-injurious behaviours
2010
The present research aims at understanding how the same body may became object of aggression and destruction by adolescents' self-injurious behaviours. Particularly, self-injurious behaviours are those finalised to destruction or deliberate alteration of one's body, even if without a conscious suicidal intention.

Research has shown that on the basis of self-injurious behaviours there are the perception of an authoritarian educational style and approval by peers and brothers. (C) 2010 Elsev…
L’épée, arme et symbole. Le point de vue technique sur les fonctions des épées à poignée métallique de l’âge du Bronze
2018
The sword, which was invented during Bronze Age, is certainly the ultimate weapon, associated to war and warriors, designed to fight during combats. However, because of its technical complexity, its ostentatious aspect, especially when it is equipped with a bronze hilt, or its strong individualization for example through ornaments, swords can also be considered as symbols. This symbol can be connected to an individual, a social position, a community or to another concept we cannot precisely understand. Of course, material and immaterial aspects do not always exclude each other, and a single object can be used for both. However, a first inspection of these weapons shows that some of them cou…
Producción de personas, reproducción de representaciones. Reflexiones sobre dos programas de capacitación en liderazgo
2020
The present paper addresses the question of the role Executive Education performs in the strengthening and reproduction of neoliberal ideology. It aims to critically reflect on the way selected contents and teaching activities operate jointly enabling or inhibiting certain perspectives regarding work in organizations. Two Leadership training programs are analyzed in this article, currently delivered by the two most prestigious business schools in Argentina: IAE Business School, and Torcuato Di Tella Business School. I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…
Between improvisation and inevitability: former Latvian officials’ memoirs of the Soviet era
2016
ABSTRACTThis article deals with the autobiographies of former Soviet officials that have been published in Latvia since the 1990s. In particular, it focuses on three interrelated layers of biographical narrative: construction of social identity, strategies for avoiding the stigmatization of collaboration, and comparisons between the Soviet and post-Soviet experience. The article contends that former officials in their memoirs use a pragmatic representation of the Soviet past as the major locus of their positive identity. Through this genuine representation of the past, autobiographers emphasize virtues that might be accepted by a post-Soviet neoliberal society.
Las marcas en el cuerpo de la víctima: la veracidad encarnada en la violencia de género
2015
Resumen: La certeza y la veracidad son dos requisitos imprescindibles para poder dar fe de su condicion de victima, el testimonio incierto despierta dudas y cuestiona la propia condicion de victima, de la misma manera que cuando la victima se sale de los atributos que consideran la definen. Abordaremos este analisis de la violencia machista recurriendo a las campanas institucionales (entre 1998-2013 a nivel estatal), en las que se recurre a un corpus limitado y muy definido de marcas que estandarizan sobre el cardenal que deja el golpe domestico. En la representacion estetica de la victima el cuerpo ocupa un lugar privilegiado, mas alla del testimonio de la palabra. La sangre y las marcas, …
La valoración del Practicum en la formación inicial: un estudio de casos internacional en el área de Geografía e Historia
2020
El acceso a la función docente es asunto regulado por las instituciones administrativas, pero depende en gran medida de las competencias, actitudes y expectativas personales. Los estudios comparativos que mostramos revelan que las representaciones sociales que determinan un sentido práctico del saber escolar inciden en las opiniones de los actuales profesores de Secundaria y en los que aspiran a serlo. Este fenómeno subjetivo, que incide en las competencias profesionales, se interpreta cualitativamente con una metodología de casos, con la comparación de estos a partir de las encuestas y memorias del Practicum en tres universidades de Brasil, Colombia y España. El análisis sobre objetivos y …
Méconnaissance du politique, sciences sociales et représentations sociales : le cas des violences scolaires
2007
A scientific reflexion on the question of school violences, recurring in the media field, cannot forget, according to us, an analysis of its journalistic treatment and its potential effects on the social representations. The refusal of the policy in/by the school institution and its corollary the depoliticization of school violences reinforce the ignorance of the actors. Social sciences, as peripheral sciences, miss often debates, even aren't legitimate. We have to confront «the media invention» of school violence with social sciences knwoledge.
Las representaciones del saber académico: Aportaciones desde la Geografía Escolar
2019
When we talk with basic education´s teachers there is an impression in the case of learning Social Sciences, and Geography in particular that these sciences are not useful for the explanation of socio-environmental and daily problems. In this research, improvement proposals are sought so that students are motivated to learn about these problems. Based on two case studies such as flood risks (and their relationship with climate change) and the problems of the rural areas, the possibilities of combining motivation for learning close to personal emotions and with their own rigor have been explored of the conceptual explanation. To validate these results, quantitative and qualitative research t…
