State of the art of social representations theory in Asia: An empirical meta-theoretical analysis

“…They play an essential role in communication and cannot exist without it, at the same time enabling communication and being generated, transmitted, and transformed through it. Also known as theories of common sense, social representations can be considered as organizing principles of the symbolic relationships between individuals and groups, as different members of a group share common knowledge on the object to which they refer in the course of conversations (de Rosa, Dryjanska, & Bocci, 2017a).…”

“…(1) Asian early-stage researchers who moved to Europe for their doctorates, working under the supervision of the theory founder or other leading scientists in SRT, especially at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, France, the London School of Economics in the UK, and at the European/International Joint PhD in Social Representations and Communication (SR&C) Research Centre and Multimedia Lab, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy (see de Rosa, 2016a), followed by their return to Asia. (3) The scientific and institutional networking activities during the training events organised by the European/International Joint PhD in SR&C; the SoReCom "A.S.de Rosa"@-library and the Academic Social Networking in the dissemination of the Social Representations Literature (de Rosa, Bocci, Dryjanska, & Borrelli, 2016c;de Rosa et al, 2017ade Rosa et al, , 2017bde Rosa et al, , 2017c. It should be also noted that the decrease of frequencies shown in Figure 2 that apparently sanctions the scientific productivity for the period 2014-2016 also reflects the operational process for the retrieval of the sources; therefore, this decreased frequency should be taken as a provisional result (as confirmed by experience of data retrieval/accumulation in other geocultural areas).…”

The anthropological and ethnographic approaches to social representations theory: a systematic meta-theoretical analysis of publications based on empirical studies

“…The anthropological and ethnographic approaches to social… 1 3 very amply proliferated in the Latin American context (de Rosa 2013a(de Rosa , b, 2015b(de Rosa , 2016ade Rosa and D'Ambrosio 2008;de Rosa et al 2017ade Rosa et al , b, c, 2018Jodelet 2011;Wachelke et al 2015), which could also account for the language differences between the two clusters (Spanish is associated with Cluster 2 and its Latin American context, whereas English and French emerge in the Cluster 3 and are specific to the European publications).…”

“…The present paper is focused on the Anthropological and Ethnographic approaches to Social Representations Theory (SRT), as part of a larger research project launched by de Rosa in 1994, 1 aimed at meta-theoretically analysing the entire corpus of scientific literature on SRT, in order to assess how the theory was diffused and disseminated conceptually, in respect to other theories, thematically and empirically across time and geo-cultural contexts (de Rosa 2013a(de Rosa , 2013b(de Rosa , 2015a(de Rosa , b, 2016a(de Rosa , b, 2017de Rosa et al 2016de Rosa et al , 2017ade Rosa et al , b, c, 2018. Developed by Serge Moscovici in the 1950s in France, Social Representations Theory was meant as an important building block in creating an European Social Psychology, complementary to the traditional approaches in Social Psychology (Moscovici and Marková 2006), yet with an overarching aim at bridging the gap between the disciplines in social sciences and their isolated constructs within an emerging supra-disciplinary field, a new map for social thought (de Rosa 2013a(de Rosa , 2017Jodelet 2008Jodelet , 2018Kalampalikis and Haas 2008;Rateau et al 2011;Wagner et al 1999).…”
