VILLAS BOAS, Lúcia Pintor Santiso. Uma abordagem da historicidade das representações sociais. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2010, vol.40, n.140, pp.379-405. ISSN 0100-1574.

This article aims to emphasize the historicity of social representations as a fundamental aspect for understanding the generativity and the stabilization processes of their content. To do so, it considers that social representations are the result, on the one hand, of the reappropriation of content coming from different chronological periods and, on the other, of the content produced by new contexts. The article presents some aspects of the reciprocity that exists between social representations and the perspective of the history of mentalities, thus emphasizing that the objectivization and anchoring processes that form social representations, are privileged processes for the investigation of this historicity.

Keywords : Social Representations; History; Social Psychology.
