La representación social de la vida cotidiana en jóvenes: naturalización y cambio / Social representation of daily life: naturalization and change

Se realizó una investigación exploratoria - Proyecto UBACyT- con el objetivo de describir la representación social de la vida cotidiana que construyen jóvenes de entre 20 y 30 años, de distintos niveles socio-económicos. Combina un abordaje procesual (Jodelet, 1984, 2006; Moscovici,1961, 1984, 2001; Banchs, 2000) y otro estructural (Abric, 1994) de las representaciones sociales. En el presente trabajo se presentan resultados preliminares. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad, luego analizadas a partir de identificar cómo y qué es lo que los participantes relatan como vida cotidiana. Se construyeron categorías emergentes que se articularon con dimensiones de conceptualizaciones teóricas sobre vida cotidiana. Los datos evidencian como la themata adentro/afuera aparece con mayor relevancia, expandiéndose en otros pares antitéticos: familiar/novedoso, previsible/no previsible, otros significativos/coro, bienestar/malestar y público/ privado. En términos de objetivación y anclaje, la "Casa" y el "Trabajo" aparecen respectivamente como imágenes que concretizan y anclan dicha representación social.

An exploratory research was carried on - UBACYT project - with the aim of describing daily life social representations which young people, in ages between 20 and 30 years old, of different socio-economical levels construct. A combinated study is performed between the procesual (Jodelet, 1984, 2006; Moscovici, 1961, 1984, 2001; Banchs, 2000) and the structural (Abric, 1994) approaches in social representations. In this paper there is a presentation of preliminary results. There were fulfilled interviews which were analized in order to identify what and how the participants report as their daily life. Emergent categories were constructed and related to the theoretical dimensions about daily life. The data show that the themata inside/outside is relevant and expands itself to other oppositions: familiar/new, forseen/unforseen, other significants/choir, wellbeing/malaise and public/private. In terms of objectivation and anchorage, "house" and "work" show up to be figures that make the social representation concrete and anchored.

A articulação Themata-Fundos Tópicos: por uma análise pragmática da linguagem / Articulating the concepts of Themata and of Topic Ground: toward a pragmatic approach of language

Este trabalho defende a articulação themata-fundos tópicos, visando uma abordagem pragmática da linguagem. O método Alceste permite operar essa articulação. As classes que ele detecta correspondem às tomadas de posição dos enunciadores. Os fundos tópicos contém themata. As extremidades dos eixos fatoriais correspondem às taxinomias, às polaridades opostas que dinamizam as relações intergrupos. Esta abordagem pragmática da linguagem, por intermédio do programa Alceste, fornece ao psicólogo social os elementos necessários para a construção de um sistema explicativo, capaz de restituir o elo perdido entre as distribuições dos mundos lexicais e as relações intergrupos.

This article stands up for relationships among the concepts of Themata and of Topic ground, in order to develop a pragmatic approach to language. The Alceste method is an effective tool to operate this articulation. The clusters distribution that it detects reproduces the positions taken by different groups of speakers. The Topic ground contains Themata. The lexical oppositions, which the factorial analysis makes visible, correspond to the dichotomies, the polarities that keep in motion the inter-group relations. This pragmatic approach to language, through Alceste, provides all the information that the social psychologist needs to conceive one model capable to rescue the link between lexical worlds and inter-group relations.
