Quatre thèmes de kabbale sociologique
While the relevance of using projective tests in the analysis of traumatic expression in a population of women has already been highlighted in the literature (Martins et al., 2010), the study of the different modes of functioning and elaboration presented by these victims according to the chronicity of the violence experienced remains to be clarified. This article aims to show the different modes of expression and evolution of post-traumatic symp…

Le scandale de la pensée sociale: Textes inédits sur les représentations sociales réunis et préfacés par Nikos Kalampalikis
« Il y a peu de choses aussi scandaleuses pour des hommes vivant dans une culture qui se réclame, comme la nôtre, de la science et de la raison, que le spectacle des croyances, des superstitions ou des préjugés que partagent des millions d'hommes », affirme Serge Moscovici. Sa théorie des représentations sociales, élaborée il y a un demi-siècle, vise en effet la formation de la connaissance en société dans son rapport avec la science, la communic…

An essay on social representations and ethnic minorities
Persecution of ethnic minorities, social exclusion and racism are phenomena that cannot be studied as isolated variables. Popular forms of these phenomena arise from multitudes of beliefs, values and images with long histories. In discussing the separation of facts and values, the 'Eichmann experiment' and obedience and disobedience towards authority, it is shown here that a mechanical obedience corresponds to scientific and technical practices, …

A new representation of minorities as victims
To convey the general meaning of this study, we must first clarify the question it seeks to answer and then delineate the observations that served as its initial impetus. What, then, is the question with which we are concerned? For a short answer, let us go back to the famous 1971 debate between Chomsky and Foucault on the subject of "human nature." From the very outset, there is a sharp difference of opinion. Foucault asserts that human nature h…

Os ciganos entre perseguição e emancipação
Toda sociedade que classifica os homens e separa os grupos autóctones dos grupos "estrangeiros" inclui um sistema de crenças, religiosas ou outras. Suas representações obedecem a uma norma que dá a seus atos um sentido ético. Esses atos não são cometidos por criminosos ou loucos, mas por pessoas que sabem o que é permitido ou proibido, qual é a diferença entre o bem e o mal. O ponto de partida das reflexões apresentadas é que estereótipos - categ…

A study of minorities as victims
This article presents the idea that during the 1990s an important change took place in relation between minorities and majorities: the emergence of minorities as victims alongside the formerly predominant active, militant minorities. A hypothesis is raised that these two types of minorities differ in their agenda as well as in the nature of the influence they exert. Active minorities trigger an external conflict with majority and induce conversio…
Essai sur l'histoire humaine de la nature
Serge Moscovici revisita a relação complexa entre a humanidade e a natureza em "Essai sur l'histoire humaine de la nature". Ele argumenta que a natureza não é simplesmente um objeto externo a ser explorado, mas sim uma construção social moldada pelas percepções, valores e práticas humanas ao longo da história. O livro explora como diferentes culturas e épocas conceberam a natureza, desde as visões animistas primitivas até a moderna perspectiva ci…
The taboo against group contact: Hypothesis of Gypsy ontologization
The concept of this article is that the symbolic relationships between human beings and animals serve as a model for the relationships between the majority and the ethnic minority. We postulate that there are two representations that serve to organize these relationships between human beings and animals: a domestic and a wild one. If the domestic animal is an index of human culture, the wild animal is an index of nature which man considers himsel…

Une approche pragmatique de l'analyse Alceste
L’approche sémantique est très souvent la seule utilisée pour l’interprétation des résultats des analyses automatiques du discours. Dans le cadre de cet article nous nous intéressons à l’un de ces logiciels, Alceste, souvent utilisé par les chercheurs travaillant dans le domaine des représentations sociales. Nous soutenons qu’une approche pragmatique de la communication et du langage est indispensable du point de vue théorique et pratique. À part…
Le regard psychosocial: Entretien avec Birgitta Orfali. Janvier 2005
In this interview Birgitta Orfali asks Serge Moscovici about the specificity of his social psychological triadic model. Rather than to underline disciplinary theories or concepts, the aim of this interview is to inquire how the triadic model permits apprehension both of its originality in social psychology and its impact on larger fields of application that may not be strictly scientific
La psychanalyse, son image et son public
Cet ouvrage est une recherche de psychologie sociale et de sociologie de la connaissance sur la représentation sociale de la psychanalyse, sur ce que devient une discipline scientifique et technique quand elle passe du domaine des spécialistes au domaine commun, comment le grand public se la représente et la modèle et par quelles voies se constitue l'image qu'il s'en fait. A travers cette recherche, l'auteur a élaboré une méthode applicable à des…

Notes towards a description of Social Representations
The theory of social representations occupies a place apart in social psychology both by the problems it raises and the scale of the phenomena with which it deals. This provokes many a criticism and misunderstanding. Such a theory may not correspond with the model of social psychology as it is defined at present. One attempts however to show that it answers important social and scientific questions, in what it differs from the classical conceptio…

Influence of a Consistent Minority on the Responses of a Majority in a Color Perception Task
Most of the studies on social influence have dealt with conformity, social pressure exercised by majority groups, and have used dependency as the source of influence. This study concerns innovation, social pressure exercized by a minority, and tries at the same time to prove that behavioral style is a general source of influence. An objectively blue stimulus is used which two subjects (stooges) out of six call green in the experimental groups. Wh…

Biased information search in group decision making
Research has shown that people prefer supporting to conflicting information when making decisions. Whether this biased information search also occurs in group decision making was examined in three experiments. Experiment 1 indicated that groups as well as individuals prefer supporting information and that the strength of this bias depends on the distribution of the group members' initial decision preferences. The more group members had chosen the…
Presenting Social Representations: A Conversation
Serge Moscovici's theoretical system of social representations is by now nearly 40 years old; yet, today, various social psychological activities surrounding this field seem to flourish more than ever; much research into social representations is being carried out all over Europe and on other continents; there is a European PhD programme on social representations and communication; there is an association and a network on social representations; …

Studies in social influence III: Majority versus minority influence in a group
This experimental study was aimed at investigating the mechanisms of influence involved in the two functionally opposed phenomena of innovation and conformity. We have been concerned for several years with the former of these two phenomena because of its intrinsic importance and the limited amount of research devoted to it. In the present article we have attempted not only to analyse the position more thoroughly, but also to compare the effects o…
Towards a theory of collective phenomena: Consensus and attitude changes in groups
This study presents the outline of a model for collective phenomena. A symmetry‐breaking model combines a number of well‐established social psychology hypotheses with recent concepts of statistical physics. Specifically we start out from the regularities obtained in studies on the polarization of attitudes and decisions. From a strictly logical point of view, it is immediately clear that aggregation effects must be analysed separately from group …

Social Consciousness and Its History
The idea of collective representations, in wide currency in the 1920s, plays an essential role in the work of both Piaget and Vygotsky, making possible as it did the marriage of psychology and anthropology within a developmental framework. They and the other great thinkers of the 1920s were much concerned to give an account of the evolution from so called 'primitive' thought to scientific thought. It is argued that Levy-Bruhl's conception of coll…
Studies in group decision I: Social space, patterns of communication and group concensus
The discovery of the effects of risky shift focusses the interest on the study of decision processes. Nevertheless the researches carried on until now have always shown confusion between the theoretical and experimental analysis of these processes and the risk‐related behavior. In the first part of the article the authors try to clear this confusion as well as to define the conditions of a systematic study of the mechanisms of decision leading ei…
Studies in social influence: I. Those absent are in the right: Convergence and polarization of answers in the course of a social interaction
The theories of social influence assert that: a) the existing dependence on the source of influence and hence the presence of the latter, is the cause of the above changes, b) the effective qualities of the stimulus or those which are attributed to it ‐ ambiguity, clarity and certitude, etc., ‐ can be seen in the divergence or convergence of the estimations made on the stimulus have an independent effect from the relations which exist between thi…

Studies in social influence IV: Minority influence in a context of original judgments
This research was devoted to the studv of minoritv influence in a context of originality of judgments. It was stimulated by a consideration of the role pla‐ved by the normative context in influence processes. In most research, this implicitlv underlies the phenomena studied. Thus, studies of social control have naturally appealed to the objectivity context. Innovation, in the social milieu in which it is involved, frequentlv implies an originalit…

Si l'ouvrier français semble peu mobile géo graphiquement, ce n'est pas la conséquence d'une prétendue mentalité particulière ; l'exemple du déplacement en Lorraine des mineurs du Midi constitue à cet égard un faux exemple - , mais bien plutôt le résultat de la pression des forces contradictoires qui s'exercent sur lui pour partir et pour rester
