JUNQUEIRA, LÍLIA. NOTAS SOBRE LA NOCIÓN DE REPRESENTACIÓN SOCIAL EN LA SOCIOLOGÍA CONTEMPORÁNEA. LOS CONCEPTOS DE SIMULACRO Y DE HABITUS. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2006, vol.42, pp.157-177. ISSN 0486-6525.

THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE SOCIOLOGICAL CONCEPT OF Social representation given the epistemological shift in several social sciences from an economic towards a cultural emphasis. Drawing on its presence in classical social theory as well as in contemporary concepts such as Jean Baudrillardtds simulacra, and Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias habitus, I argue that both are indispensable, within their specific discussions, for explaining contemporary sociocultural phenomena.

Keywords : Social theory; epistemology in the social sciences; representation; simulacra; habitus.
