KALAMPALIKIS, Nikos. Un outil de diagnostic des représentations sociales: le focus group. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.33, pp.435-467. ISSN 1981-416X.

Focus groups are spaces of communication that allow us to observe the interactions, the memories and representations in the process. They correspond largely to the methodological requirements of two research fields that have a strong affiliation epistemological: the memory and social representation. Our article is part of this problem and seeks to highlight the fruitfulness of this joint through a field study focused on the symbolic conflict in the Balkans, between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia, “Macedonian case”, putting the history, memory and requirements of this conventional defense in a process of national imaginary meanings.

Keywords : Focus Groups; Social Representations; Social Memories.
