Resumen-Al intentar explicar las razones por las cuales los desastres socionaturales traen consigo una cadena de nefastas consecuencias, se hace imperante analizar la concepción que se maneja del riesgo y de sus elementos asociados: amenaza y vulnerabilidad, dadas las discordancias, confusiones, vacíos e imprecisiones al respecto. Ello amerita de un análisis exhaustivo y del estudio de la multiplicidad de factores capaces de intervenir en su comprensión, y que de alguna forma pueden incidir en la carencia de una cultura preventiva. De allí emerge el presente ensayo, cuyo propósito es reflexionar sobre distintas concepciones del riesgo en diferentes momentos históricos, impregnándose del tipo de sociedad de donde provienen, y en la cual se originan modelos teóricos como abstracciones de una realidad construida en el imaginario social, que intenta explicarlas y comprenderlas. Se trata entonces de esquemas que demandan una transformación a través de la educación, pues esésta la herramienta más idónea y al mismo tiempo capaz de influir y modificar la manera de percibir, valorar y actuar ante fenómenos naturales adversos y sobre aquellos factores que determinan su conversión en eventos calamitosos; todo con la finalidad de que se interpreten global y sistémicamente, redundando en una preparación afectiva y efectiva, que posibilitará la actuación acertada ante una situación de riesgo o peligro.Palabras Clave-Riesgo, Amenaza, Vulnerabilidad, Evento adverso, Imaginario social.Abstract-In attempting to explain the reasons why socio-natural disasters bring with them a chain of disastrous consequences, it is imperative to analyze the conception of risk and its associated elements: threat and vulnerability, given the discordances, confusions, gaps and inaccuracies about it. This requires a thorough analysis and the study of the multiplicity of factors capable of intervening in its compression, and that may somehow affect the lack of a Preventive Culture. From this emerges the present essay, whose purpose is to reflect on different conceptions of risk in different historical moments, impregnating of the type of society from which they originate, and in which theoretical models originate as abstractions of a reality constructed in the social imaginary, which attempts to explain and understand them. These are then schemes that merit a transformation through education, since this is the most appropriate tool, and at the same time able to influence and modify the way of perceiving, valuing and acting against adverse natural phenomena, and those factors that determine their conversion into calamitous events; All with the aim of being interpreted globally and systemically, redundating in affective and effective preparation, which will enable the understanding and correct action in a situation of risk or danger.Keywords-Risk, Threat, Vulnerability, Adverse event, Social imaginary.
