Abstract

CHARRY JOYA, Carlos Andrés. "New or old debates?: Social representations and the modern development of social sciences. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2006, n.25, pp.81-94. ISSN 0123-885X.

The following article presents a debate on the different approaches social sciences have assumed on regards to social representations. With this in mind an analytical review is done, starting with the classical perspective (Durkheim, Mauss) , all through modern discourse (Moscovici) , to finally asses contemporary conceptual applications (Chartier, Goody) . Such analysis intends to grab elements of discussion referring to the modern development of social sciences, as well as the links existing between Anthropology and Sociology.

Keywords : Social representations; social sciences; Anthropology; Sociology.
