RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

identificar y caracterizar las representaciones sociales sobre el consumo de drogas en un contexto universitario.

METODOLOGIA:

se construyó un marco de referencia recogiendo los aportes del interaccionismo simbólico, la etnografía interpretativa y el análisis textual. La recolección de información se realizó mediante 27 entrevistas semiestructuradas y 7 grupos focales. A su vez, se aplicó como técnica de análisis el Paradigma de Lectura, propuesto por la hermenéutica culturalista de corte antropológico. RESULTADOS Y

DISCUSION:

se evidenciaron representaciones sociales como el uso de drogas como elemento socializador, facilitador de relaciones sociales; y como un elemento que da sentido a la vida, que ponen al sujeto en un contexto donde es aceptado.

CONCLUSION:

en los significantes de las drogas aparecen formas de conocimiento socialmente construidas que generan, desde las funciones de las representaciones sociales, satisfactores que permiten, a partir de la comunicación, la construcción de lenguajes que forjan identidad dentro del grupo y beneficia la adaptación al entorno social universitario.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To identify and characterize the social representations of drug use in a university context.

METHODOLOGY:

a framework was built by collecting the contributions of symbolic interactionism, interpretive ethnography, and textual analysis. Data collection was performed through 27 semistructured interviews and 7 focus groups. Likewise, the Reading Paradigm, proposed by a cultural hermeneutics of anthropological nature, was used as an analysis technique. RESULTS AND

DISCUSSION:

we observed social representations such as drug use as a socializing element facilitating social relations and as an element that gives meaning to life by putting the subject in a context where he or she is accepted.

Conclusion:

certain socially constructed forms of knowledge appear in the signifiers of drugs. They generate, through the functions of social representations, satisfiers that make it possible, through communication, to construct languages that shape the identity within the group and favor adaptation to the social environment of the university.
