AbstractPart of a larger research project aimed at performing the meta-theoretical analysis of the worldwide literature published on social representations theory (SRT), this article explores the state of art of the theory in the geocultural context of Asia, spatially and temporally, as well as from a conceptual, disciplinary, theoretical, empirical and thematic point of view. The Grid for MetaTheoretical Analysis was used on 194 sources, extracted from the So.Re.Com “A.S. de Rosa”@-library. Multi-step strategies of data analyses offer a diversified picture of findings: (a) descriptive statistics and geomapping with Tableau Desktop the bibliometric impact country by country; (b) structural multidimensional view of significant intersections between “meta-data” performing hierarchical clustering on the top of the multiple correspondence analysis. The three clusters detected reveal a shift from a more generic and applied tradition of research on SRT in 2002–2011 to a more theoretically oriented empirical research trend starting from 2011, identifying the scientific production anchored into different Asian regions (Indonesia, China and Israel) and mainly differentiated by the methodology employed. Results revealed that SRT was adopted due to its epistemological and empirical compatibilities with the purpose of creating an original Asian social psychology, interested in indigenous social phenomena specific to cultural backgrounds.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the social representations of polydrug use in the Finnish mainstream media. Social representations are shared ways of talking about socially relevant issues and have ramifications on both individual and socio-political levels. Design/methodology/approach The social representations theory and the “What’s the problem represented to be?” analysis provided the theoretical framework. In total, 405 newspaper articles were used as data and analysed by content analysis and thematic analysis. The key tenets of the social representations theory, anchoring, objectifying and naturalisation, were used in data analysis. Findings The study found that polydrug use was written about differently in articles over the study period from 1990 to 2016. Three social representations were introduced: first, polydrug use as a concept was used to refer to the co-use of alcohol and medical drugs. This was seen as a problem for young people, which could easily lead to illicit drug use. Second, illicit drugs were included in the definitions of polydrug use, which made the social representation more serious than before. The typical polydrug user was portrayed as a person who was addicted to substances, could not quite control his/her use and was a threat to others in society. Third, the concepts were naturalised as parts of common language and even used as prototypes and metaphors. Originality/value The study provides a look at how the phenomenon of polydrug use is conceptualised in everyday language as previous research has concentrated on its scientific definitions. It also adds to the research of media representations of different substances.

Abstract This paper focuses on the impact of the creation of the new administrative French region «Occitanie – Pyrénées, Méditerranée» under the social representations of the Occitan linguistic space point of view. This new region was created in 2016 by the union of two former regions, Midi-Pyrénées and Languedoc-Roussillon, and does not correspond precisely to the linguistic and historical Occitanie. Therefore, the name of the new region could delegitimize both the name and the linguistic practices – indeed, already remarkably jeopardized.

In this paper we present a second part of the study on information security of children and adolescents according to parents and teachers. This part of the study focuses at empirical research results aimed in studying the so-called "naive theories" about information security. 136 people (aged 21 to 62 years) attended the study. We based on the following hypotheses : 1) the group of parents and teachers understand similarly the issue of information threat for children and adolescents, yet they have different understandings of the dangerous effects of information on children and adolescents: parents underestimate the seriousness of the effects compared with teachers; 2) according to parents and teachers, the formers are primarily responsible for information security of children; while teachers expect parents to monitor, prohibit, restrict the access to information for children and adolescents. Parents, in turn, expect teachers to train children and teenagers to observe the safety procedures, as well as use Internet safely. Our assumptions are confirmed partly, and study results are discussed in terms of the theory of social representations.

The study aims to analyze the everyday concepts of information security in groups of parents.Based on the ideas of the theory of social representations, in particular, about the connection between social practices and social representations, were identified three groups of respondents - parents of children (group 1), the parents of adolescents (group 2),a group of childless adults (group 3) - groups having a different distance with respect to the object of the representation. The study involved 115 participants aged 20 to 50 years (97 women and 18 men).We made the following assumptions: 1) Group 3 will differ from group 1 and group 2 in the evaluation of information security threats (various topics will be considered as threatening, the parents of children and adolescents will proceed from the fact that the threat is primarily for children of their age, and the control group, the source will be a common understanding of the threat);2) in a group 3 there will be major regulatory elements, in groups 1 and 2 - the functional elements (scripts).It is also assumed that in group 2, there is a great complexity of the script as compared to the other groups.It was shown the following: firstly, the hierarchy of themes arrayed in view of information security threats practically coincides in all groups; secondly, action plans hardest arranged in one group, to a lesser extent - in group 3.This applies to situations in which the child faces a moderately dangerous information, there is no difference in the situation of a collision with the most dangerous information.

Precarious Situation

A problemática da moradia de risco tem ganhado ênfase no debate contemporâneo sobre políticas públicas urbanas. As diversas iniciativas observadas se enquadram, de maneira geral, na perspectiva objetivista do risco, que traz como principal decorrência a demanda pela mensuração e quantificação do fenômeno. Resulta daí uma visão técnica do risco que se apresenta dominante, e que promove não só a noção de que as situações precárias envolvendo grupos específicos são decorrentes de decisões imprevidentes, como também intervenções de remoção que afetam as condições de vida desses grupos. Problematizando esse argumento, a literatura sociológica da construção social do risco sustenta que este é objeto de uma elaboração socialmente diferenciada. Utilizando-se da análise das trajetórias de moradia de famílias removidas de áreas condenadas tecnicamente no município de Juiz de Fora (MG), este artigo aponta discursos e práticas que conformam a resistência da população à noção técnica dominante do risco. Palavras-chave: construção social do risco; desigualdade ambiental; periferia urbana. Abstract: The social problem of risk is increasingly relevant to contemporary debates, especially on public policies and urban affairs. In general, most of the initiatives come from an objectivist perspective of risks, based on quantification and mensuration of phenomena. From this technical approach emerges a dominant conception of risk, which spreads out the reckoning that precarious situation involving specific urban poverty groups are due to ‘irrational consumption options’; influenced by this point of view, social intervention comes out disqualifying those groups practices and interfering deeply in their lives. Discussing this argument, recent sociological literature presents the social construction of risk, structured on the idea that the notion of ‘risk’ is socially constructed by differentiated groups, that bring upon different symbolic references, social representations and material practices. Using as empiric reference the trajectories of families removed from their home places – characterized by municipality engineering as ‘technically condemned’ – in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, this article stresses the discursive elements and material practices that express the resistance of there moved people to the dominant technical conception of risk. Keywords: social construction of risk; environmental inequality; urban periphery.
