They inform, legitimise and/or challenge particular, beliefs and practices (Gervais and Jovchelovitch, 1998).

“…Health has long been a focus for social representations research (e.g. Herzlich, 1973;Jodelet, 1991;Campbell, 1997;Gervais and Jovchelovitch, 1998).

“…Tendo tal referência teórico-metodológica enquanto ponto de partida, nos perguntamos sobre o estatuto plasmador da representação do continuum imagético, uma vez estabelecido o enodamento fusional entre o percepto, o conceito e seu caráter imagético no ato mesmo de representar (Macedo, 2000;Moscovici, 1976) por parte de um sujeito específico e tendo como suporte o uso instrumental de racionalidades distintas e heterônomas (Gervais & Jovchelovitch, 1998;Jovchelovitch, 2001;Nascimento, 2001b), dialeticamente articuladas no trabalho representacional ocasionando em indivíduos e grupos estados sistemáticos de polifasia cognitiva, nomeação dada por Moscovici (1976) à presença simultânea no engendramento, manutenção e transformações de representações sociais de lógicas diversas oriundas dos universos reificados e dos consensuais.…”
