Resumen

En este trabajo se va a intentar determinar la utilidad de las representaciones sociales para la Psicología. Para ello, en primer lugar se analizan las metodologías más utilizadas para su estudio, destacando la técnica del análisis del discurso, técnica que se aplica a un texto deJodelet en el que se define la entidad de las representaciones sociales.

De este estudio se concluye que la noción de representación social que se maneja en la comunidad científica es difusa y poco operativa, por lo que, en primer lugar, se propone una definición alternativa, y en segundo lugar se procede a dividirla en tres entidades: construcciones representacionales, construcciones personales y construcciones circunstanciales. Señalando finalmente su constitución semiótica que incorpora tanto al lenguaje como a las prácticas sociales.
