| Description: |
This volume presents the key arguments that concern the relationships between the theory and methods in the fierce debate about the study of social representations, and considers the circumstances in which one can be certain of having described a social representation. |
| Synopsis: |
A long-awaited and critical review of a key topic, this book shows how different empirical approaches to the study of social representations are viable and can be complementary. Empirical examples of the analysis of particular social representations - from museums to new technology - are included. The ten chapters in the first half of the book present the key arguments concerning the relationship between the theory and methods. The second half looks at a wide variety of research topics. Of central concern to all the topics are the circumstances under which one can be certain of having described a social representation. The answer lies in the use of multivariate statistical analysis, the use of which is clearly explained. |
