This study aimed to analyse the frequency of orange-fleshed sweet potato and pumpkin consumption, the social representations of sous-vide cooked vegetarian ready-to-eat meals (vegetable millefeuille, vegetable mixture and sweet potato provencal), and the correlation between the three meals mentioned, food neophobia and willingness to buy and try. The study involved 1 034 individuals aged 18 and above from Argentina. A correspondence analysis was performed to visualize the attributes of three stimuli evaluated through word association. The results reflect a high frequency of words related to hedonic terms. A negative correlation between the participants' levels of food neophobia and their willingness to buy and try each product was found. Participants with lower levels of neophobia showed a greater intention to consume and purchase the vegetable millefeuille and the vegetable mix. Participants with higher neophobia scores demonstrated less willingness to buy sweet potatoes provencal. Using pumpkin and sweet potato as ingredients of prepared dishes presents an opportunity to increase the demand and added value of widely available vegetables that are part of the world gastronomy industry.

Training in Psychology careers at a national level presents the gender and diversity perspective as a vacancy area. The changes promoted in this area in the last decade highlight the essential need for psychology training institutions to incorporate these issues with responsibility and solvency. The demand for dignified treatment and equality in terms of rights and opportunities becomes the main focus of action on which the gender and diversity perspective is called upon as a tool for intervention. Regarding the existence of recommendation guidelines for "good practices" or, as we decided to call them here "respectful practices with a gender perspective", at the national level there are some isolated antecedents on the subject, more focused on the field of health in general than on psychology (Argentine Ministry of Health, 2020). At the local level, there are previous studies that address the training of psychologists in gender and the inclusion of the gender perspective in the Psychology career of the UNMdP (Leguizamón & Núnez, 2017; Nocelli 2016; Pili 2017). They pointed out aspects of great value that can be translated into recommendations but did not focus their analysis on the development of a specific protocol on this issue. In this context and based on the experience that the group History, professionalization and teaching of psychology in the Southern Cone countries has in the training of psychologists, we present the results of a research carried out at the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMdP) whose objective was to investigate from semi-directed interviews social representations around the perspective of gender and diversity in professionals dedicated to the [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Different organizations register alarming poverty rates in Argentina. However, there may be differences in who is considered poor according to these measurements and who is considered poor by society, from common sense knowledge. This work analyzes the social representations of people living in poverty in a sample of 605 Argentines, using the free-word association technique. The results suggest that the poor person is first understood as someone who suffers from hunger, a definition that corresponds to indigence according to the official entity that measures poverty and indigence in Argentina. However, while the core of the representation manifests a significant presence of elements of monetary poverty and its effects on nutrition (hunger), the peripheral system shows the deficit in various social rights, such as education, housing, work, and health. Following these results, it is argued that equating poverty with indigence would render the situation of millions of people in Argentina invisible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the following article we present a comparison between two companies dedicated to the production of cement located in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We examine the repetition of general features and unique characteristics of each of the cases, to then analyze the construction of certain social representations based on the labor relations that unfolded in this context. The company was conceived as a large patriarchal family, where the bosses exercised an authority that went far beyond the workplace, to extend to all aspects of daily life. The discourses that were constructed from them delimited certain representations, charged with a strong symbolic content, which collaborated to reinforce the labor relationship. In this way, it was shown that the integration of workers of different nationalities into the production system did not endanger the union, since the paternalistic labor and social policy managed to build a strong local identity, expressed in the feeling of belonging to the factory and its workers village.

The aim of this article is to explain how the pandemic caused by the second wave of COVID-19 in the context of a situation of social, preventive and obligatory distancing (DISPO) has a concrete impact on the work carried out by teachers in the North of Argentina and, by default, on the social representations that they construct and share about it in these same circumstances. The non-probabilistic purposive sample consisted of 100 teachers from the North of the country, of both sexes, belonging to different educational levels and working in both public and private institutions. A self-administered questionnaire was implemented, consisting of questions on socio-demographic and psychosocial aspects of the participants, a hierarchical evocation test with justifications, accompanied by open questions on those aspects of their own professional practice that were favourably and unfavourably modified in the context under consideration, a story - in the form of a time capsule - addressed to future generations of colleagues where the participants had to express their experiences of this particular situation and a narration on the projection of their role in the future. The results obtained identify that the social thinking that teachers share about their work in the situation of the gradual return to educational establishments is a web of meanings tinged with negative connotations, in which tiredness, virtuality, uncertainty and stress have taken precedence over meanings with positive connotations such as the challenge of the task in these moment. However, the importance of the reinvention of the role of teachers in recent times is highlighted, which, although it is oriented towards to technologising educational processes, does not do so without losing sight of its necessary human side.

In the 1990s, Argentina and Italy – two countries with common cultural, social and political traditions – experienced the privatization of state-owned companies as well as debates over the solvency of public pension systems and laws to flexibilize the labour market: the beginnings of a ruthless model that would soon expand around the world. My interest in this study, however, lies in the years immediately before the rise of neo-liberalism, specifically from 1988 to 1989, when the model was presented as the most auspicious path to take. This article explores how information constructed by two leading newspapers, La Nación (Argentina) and Il Corriere della Sera (Italy), paved the way for neo-liberalism. The aim is to analyse which stereotypes, visions and sources were favoured through a qualitative analysis focused on the social meanings and representations put into circulation by the mass media within a specific historical context.

The following article intends to address the recent processes of organizing the "excluded" in the key of popular economy in Argentina. We are interested in punctually stopping in the modalities acquired by the demand for the recognition as a trade union actor of the Confederation of Workers of the Popular Economy that brings together a group of social organizations that emerged in the heat of the resistance of the neoliberal outpost during the 1990s in this country. We inquire there the ways in which the claims and demands of the organizations nucleated in the Confederation stress with different views around the institutions of the world of work. The proposed analysis is framed in the results of a qualitative investigation, which articulates the observation of the daily scale, with in-depth interviews, the documentary collection and the public voices.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the practices of resistance and protests in the prisons of Córdoba in Argentina, and to reflect on the media representations of these practices. This article focuses on the social and historical constructions that have been reified over time in the media about a certain narrative on prisons, prisoners, and riots. The purpose of this paper is to propose local perspectives and discuss with the exclusivity of the riot as the only practice of resistance installed in the social imaginary. Accordingly, the native meanings are approached in their own context of use, through the analysis of situations in which the actors actualize their representations of their own social world. Following this intention, an ethnography with persons deprived of their liberty and their relatives is used as a starting point. It is concluded that local perceptions of prison protests do not necessarily coincide with the meanings attributed to them by the media. n this analysis, it is of interest to illustrate how the subjectivities historically constructed through the images that circulate in the media about prisons influence the constitution of the punitivist imaginary in the current situation of Preventive and Compulsory Social Isolation (ASPO) to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. Conducted between July and October 2020, this work contributes to the deepening and complication of studies on the practices of protests and resistance in prisons, through the analysis of the meanings assigned to them by the protagonists. This text proposes a questioning, from an academic perspective, of the social classifications of persons deprived of their liberty in the media representations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present exposition aims to investigate what happens after the sentence of a structural case centered on the right to the environment in an urban territory. We will take the case of the judicialization of the sanitation of the Matanza Riachuelo basin, one of the most polluted areas of Argentina, which runs through the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. The ruling involved the deployment of a battery of policies, including the urbanization and relocation of informal settlements located in the basin. In this work we will investigate the representations of the inhabitants of these neighborhoods about their environment and their rights in general. In addition, the state actions and the traditions of the villeros movements in the area will be analyzed as elements to consider to investigate the characteristics of these perceptions. A qualitative methodology was used, carrying out field work in two settlements in the basin between 2014 and 2018. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over the last few years, the Argentinian feminist movement has experienced remarkable growth in its volume, scope, and public recognition. Positioned within the massive mobilization for the legalization of voluntary termination of pregnancy (VTP), we are interested in addressing feminism as a social movement. Thus, we propose an analysis of social representations (SRs) of feminism as a means of studying collective identity. We also describe the role of attitudes towards VTP legalization as a cleavage that configures two opposing representations of feminism. We took a sample of 772 people from 16 to 81 years of age (M = 37.8, SD = 17.1). Applying a word association technique, we gathered information about participants' SRs of feminism, together with information about their attitudes towards VTP legalization, political ideology, political interest, the personal relevance of religion, and participation in social and political actions and/or organizations regarding gender and/or sexual diversity matters. Our results evidenced a generally positive representation of feminism, but one that is conditioned by attitudes towards abortion legalization: that is, people who were in favour of VTP legalization expressed positive associations, mainly referring to feminism as a social movement, emphasizing the political dimension. In contrast, people who were against VTP legalization were more likely to hold a mainly negative representation of feminism, exemplified by representations of specific women who act motivated by hatred, resentment, and contempt towards men, and who express an authoritarian seek for a dominant position in society. We discuss the implications of these results in terms of collective identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transvestite-trans* collective is proposed as an object of Social Representation. It is concluded that this is feasible since the concept generates socio-cognitive conflict and call in question identity, since gender organizing principles are based on a binary sexual system and the sole existence of this group questions it. Likewise, it generates social controversy, as the political struggle has progressively obtained greater visibility and sanctions of specific laws. Subsequently, objectification is identified --simplification of scientific theories that deal with the issue of gender throughout history-- and the elements of the nuclear and peripheral systems are established, finding the iconography of the bathrooms as a figurative nucleus and other gender identities of the sex-generic system, such as transvestite-trans*, as peripheral elements. It is likely that the transvestite-trans* collective has influenced the social change of social representations (SR) as an active minority. This minority influence was achieve with the dissemination of the discussion about inclusive language that occurred in mid-2018 in Argentine from its use by students in an argentinian TV show. This diffusion that took place in many mass media allowed the admission of the transvestite-trans* population as one more participant in social life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The television series, Vientos de Agua (2006), directed by Juan José Campanella, looks at the issue of Spanish-Argentine emigration, within the time frame 1934-2006. On the one hand, Vientos de agua can be considered a melodrama, since it uses the recurring strategies of a genre that privileges attention to the affective sphere of the characters — family, loves, friends, and encourages a moral reading of the conflicts. On the other, a historical context is evoked and some social transformations are noted, which also allows a reading of this fictional series as a means of representing collective memory. Finally, given that the adventures of the characters offer us almost all the recurring motifs of exile — the myth of the promised land, the longing for the lost paradise, the anguish of the boat trip, the crossing of borders, the loss of ties with the communities of origin and the difficulties in finding new host communities— including returning home, I consider it appropriate to review whether the concepts of reflective nostalgia and post-memory are productive for the analysis of the series and its representation of individual and collective identity.

The United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo Leon (FUNDENL) is a group of mothers and wives of people who disappeared. FUNDENL organizes autonomously to find their family members. This group is maintaining the legacy of women who have historically mobilized against disappearances, such as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo during the dictatorship in Argentina or the mothers of the Eureka Committee during the "dirty war" in Mexico. Why are women the ones who, in most cases, decide to search for their loved ones? The goal of this text is to analyze the gender dimension in the representations of collective identity and activism of the members of FUNDENL by observing their processes of resistance and empowerment through a feminist lens. The article argues the practices in their struggle, such as the embroidery for peace, are linked to their own experiences as women and mothers. Life histories and qualitative field work are used to understand this issue. With traditionally feminine practices, such as embroidery, the mothers and wives of FUNDENL resignify motherhood and love in the struggle for the disappeared, constructing new references about the role of women in social mobilization.

In Argentina, as well as in many countries, indigenous people have been the target of prejudice for centuries. This situation mostly dates to the "Conquest of the Desert", a military campaign waged by the Argentine government against the indigenous population during the late 19th century. Although in the last three decades, indigenous groups' claims for reparation and equal social rights have increased in visibility, most are still victims of cultural segregation and poverty. This study analyzes the relations among social representations and prejudice against indigenous people in a small city, where the descendants of both military people and the European immigrants who arrived at the beginning of the 20th century to settle in the "conquered" lands, live alongside descendants of the Mapuche indigenous groups who originally inhabited that same territory. Our analyses suggest a contradiction in the attempts to vindicate the indigenous people while maintaining their subordinated and segregated status in the community. That opposition is reinforced by imaginary frontiers created by the organization of urban spaces and representations of the relations between past and present that relegate indigenous people to the past and place them into the poorest and most violent neighborhood, implicitly marking them as criminals. Hence, social representations may be at the basis of the subtle expressions of prejudice that are very frequent. However, when the inhabitants of the city have to actually face indigenous people who are not clearly very different from them and when these indigenous people's claims become more visible, more blatant forms of prejudice become manifest.

In this paper we address the construction of social representations that the native society produces regarding the population of sub-Saharan African origin that lives in the City of Buenos Aires. Based on the application of a quantitative research, we recover inquiries from a questionnaire applied to people born and resident in Buenos Aires, referring to education and work to reconstruct representations towards African migrants. We understand that they contain racializing elements, whose origins go back to the construction that traditionally occurred with respect to the population of non-white-European origin in Argentina.

This paper proposes a dialogue among specialists from Argentina, Brazil and France, in order to address the different ways of generating knowledge regarding the deinstitutionalization of the mental health care system. Each author's theme specificity responds to the temporariness of local reforms as a fight for a social representation of the insanity as suffering, different of the biomedical mental sickness. From that point on, the knowledge interplay materializes into heterogeneous modalities in light of the psychosocial representation paradigm: (a) implications of research on the transformation of the mental health field: experiences and representations in Argentina; (b) social representation of insanity and the deinstitutionalization practices in Brazil; (c) recognition of the 'patients' expertise: changes in the social representation of insanity, in France.

The paper presents some field registers and considerations resulting from two studies of the recent Senegalese migration in Argentina and the social relationships in the local context, particularly in the cities of Buenos Aires and La Plata. Specifically based on ethnographic data, exoticism and exoticization are considered as ways of perception, relation to and representation of these 'black' migrants' otherness. Two phenomena are interpreted as being associated with these ways of producing otherness, namely a hyper-visibility of 'black' people and the social ignorance about Africa, African people and afro-descendents in the local context. Exoticism and the exoticization of recent Senegalese migrants are shown in connection or in a complementary relationship with the invisibilization process that historically affects the black African people and afro-descendents in Argentina. While focussing on current representations, they are contextualized in the historical national social processes of 'othering' regarding the 'black' population of African background.

The aim of this paper is to analyze descriptively the consensual and differential dimensions of political leadership social representations, based on a convenience sample composed of Psychology, Philosophy and Humanities college students from Tucumán National University, Argentina. Results show a representational universe in tension characterized by opposite nuclear components: Leadership and Representation versus Power and Corruption, as well as opposite dimensions: Features/Positive Political Aspects versus Features/Negative Political Aspects, as well as two relevant clusters consistent with the latter two. Differences are also observed when analyzing variables such as: year in college, student's political group membership, university political involvement and background / types of political figures.

Although prevention efforts to eliminate the occurrence of sexual violence are clearly necessary, it is also important to consider how we can prevent further trauma among women who are already victims. The negative consequences for victims of violations occur not only as a result of the episode itself, but also because of the poor response of the environment. This paper describes and analyzes the psychotherapeutic treatment provided to victims of sexual violence in Reference Public Hospitals in Buenos Aires. To do this, a descriptive study was conducted using qualitative techniques. Psychologists who are members of the Committees of Sexual Violence Public Hospitals were interviewed. Results describe the level of sensitivity to the issue of sexual violence held by psychologists. They can be useful to generate policies to improve care for victims of sexual violence to avoid their double victimization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the following presentation is to perform an exploratory descriptive study on the characterization of political representatives, conducted by Tucumán's university non-militant youth (n=55) from the fourth and fifth year of the Faculty of Psychology and Philosophy of the National University of Tucumán- Argentina, to achieve- under the fiftieth anniversary of social representation's theory of Moscovici- a contribution to the scientific-structural approach of common sense knowledge circumscribed to the political field, as it considers this type of knowledge essential and decisive in the bond that citizenship establishes with the public field, his actors and institutions. By implementing characterization questionnaires (Flament, 1994/2001, 1996) as a technique for data collection and model curves (Verges, 2001, Abric, 2003, 2007) for analysis them, was observed an ambivalent social representation of "Political Leader" because although questioned students considered that figure as depository of relevant features, such as "Leadership" and "Representation", oppositely they pointed to "Corruption", "Power" and "Ambition" as features who have settled in the political model, leading to a distortion of their tasks and responsibilities. Along the same lines, "Lie" and "Opportunism" were indicated as practical expressions of the last qualities embodied in characters as the "Political Pointer". In this context, the "Common Interest" as a value of political representation was questioned because for some people representatives effectively fight for them, while for others do not. As a result, attributes like "Fight," Dedication "and" "Guide" appeared expropriated of the political actor, possibly revealing certain devaluation of those represented. The representational components mentioned were demonstrated predominantly referred to charges and figures from non university political field as the "President of the Nation", revealing a representation of the political class outside that space carrying a problematic aspect as noted above.

This article is product of a study developed in the city of Córdoba, Argentina between 2006 and 2009. The general objective of this research was to analyze representations of gender in males and females and relate them to their different objective conditions of existence. For the analysis of the variations in the representations, we have considered four objective conditions that showed influential: gender itself, the access of social agents into the cultural and economic capital, the relative position of one and the other member of the couple in relation to the provision of resources to the home (homogamy, hypogamy e hypergamy) and the type of family frame in which the subject habitus were raised (Traditional or Neotraditional families). To conclude we propose the notion of gender discomfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The community of Las Calles, located in Traslasierra Valley, in the west of Córdoba Province, Argentina, is characterised by a unique combination of rural and touristic life and a large urban to rural migration movement. In this sense, a diversity of cultural groups and identities coexist in this community. These cultural groups are part of "culture" as a strategic arena for the understanding of the tensions that tear apart and reconcile the "being together" continuumThis paper analyses social representations and interactions among actors from emerging and existing cultures (hippies and paisas, respectively) in this rural community, as well as the emergence of new codes and citizen ship practices. Citizenship interactions and practices demand the review and redesign of the "current" sociocultural integration and management policies. Here is where strategic communication can and must contribute to the promotion of this community's territorial and local development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is product of a research work that was developed between 2006 and 2009 in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. One of its main objectives was to analyze the representations of gender norms in men and women, and relate them with the interviewed social agents' objective conditions of existence. In this paper we show articulations between social representations and objective conditions -specifically those related to possession/dispossession of economic and cultural capital- stressing the resistance of traditional representations related to gender norms.

This article discusses the role of gender in agricultural labor in Argentina from 1930 to 1943. It examines contemporary publications by the Ministry of Agriculture and the journal "La Chacra" to study the influence of the government on agriculture and agricultural workers. The author also analyzes gender identities, social representation, and historical sources related to female farm workers. The contribution of these rural farms to the Argentine economy during this time period is also explored.

The main purpose of this article is to present the results of the research work on the social representations in relation to the involvement of principals and teachers of the centennial schools of San Luis city. The study was carried out in three institutional dimensions: administrative-organizational, pedagogical and socio-cultural. The analysis was based on the Theory of Social Representations. Considering the objectives of this work, and applying the structural method of Abric and the quadrant method of Pereira Sá, the results indicate that the most frequent and ranked first categories are: "cooperation", "dialogue", "integration" and "commitment" which constitute the central core of the social representation. From this perspective, some hypotheses could be stated: school authorities are responsive, to a large extent, to the hegemonic representation with respect to the established order; while the social representations of teachers have a more diverse content in relation to controversial representations related to a new instituting project: change of a solidarity asset(value) into an economic one; process of (pragmatic) change even in the crisis of social practices; and process of (symbolic) change of the notion of democracy. This work may contribute to educational management, and to the reflection upon decision-making practices, aimed at a true democratization of the established forms of work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a case study of how the most important newspaper from the interior of Argentina treats the issue of domestic violence. It is based on a study of primary sources and supported, methodologically, by discourse analysis. The discursive analysis of images related to domestic violence rests on the understanding that the media constructs social representations from a news-worthy criteria. We emphasize the ways in which such a construction supports various widely-entrenched beliefs, making it difficult for readers to go beyond the victim-perpetrator dichotomy and become committed to resolving this social problem.

This paper deals with the social representations of teachers who teach history in middle school in the city of Rosario, centering on their teaching practice, their concepts about the discipline they teach, its methodological and cognitive aspects. This allows us to identify stereotypes, beliefs and values that steer the development of their practices. This makes possible its problematization and a critical reflection about the possibility of improving them. The same investigation instrument -the narrative interview- constitutes, at the same time, the first device of intervention: it makes possible an intersubjective encounter in which the subject's career as a teacher is reconstructed. This proposal inaugurates a space that is open to a reflexive thinking, allowing a contextualized understanding of the decisions made in the approach to the practice of teaching history, its limits and possibilities in the middle level of education. It's a preliminary presentation of the final report, following the codifying of the instruments; and it's a first analytical and interpretative approach to the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
