          Abstract

          Resumen: En este artículo se busca elucidar el significado de los supuestos filosóficos relacionales que subyacen a la elaboración de la teoría de las representaciones sociales, diferenciándolos de los presupuestos escisionistas que han orientado buena parte de las corrientes psicológicas; luego, se indagan las modalidades de intervención del marco relacional sobre la formulación de los problemas, la caracterización de las unidades de análisis, las elecciones metodológicas, así como la naturaleza de la definición de representación social. A continuación, se trata la problemática de la intervención de los valores no epistémicos en la investigación y su relación con la cuestión de la objetividad del conocimiento. Finalmente, se examina críticamente el problema de la vinculación entre RS y la realidad, incorporando las discusiones con la psicología discursiva.

          Abstract: The purpose of this article is to elucidate the meaning of the relational philosophical assumptions underlying the theory of social representations by distinguishing them from the split assumptions which have been guiding a great deal of psychological theories. The article also explores modes of intervention of the relational framework in the formulation of problems, the characterization of analytic units, the methodological strategies, as well as the nature of the definition of social representation. The issue of the role that non-epistemic values play on research and its relationship with knowledge objectiveness is also discussed. Finally, from a critical perspective, the connection between SR and reality is examined, including the arguments coming from discursive psychology.

            A social representation is not a quiet thing: exploring the critical potential of social representations theory.

            Following Moscovici (1972), this paper addresses the questions: What is the aim of research within a social representations perspective? Is it to support or to criticize the social order? Is it to consolidate or transform it? After a brief overview of social representations theory, I argue that while the theory appears to have the conceptual tools to begin this critical task, there are serious criticisms and points of underdevelopment that need addressing. In order for social representations theory to develop into a rigorously critical theory there are three controversial issues that require clarification. These are (a) the relationship between psychological processes and social practices, (b) the reification and legitimization of different knowledge systems, and (c) agency and resistance in the co-construction of self-identity. After discussing each issue in turn, with illustrations from research on racializing representations, I conclude the paper with a discussion of the role of representations in the ideological construction and contestation of reality.
