Constructing Child Abuse and Child Psychological Abuse
Beyond Polarisation
This article examines Moldovans’ social representations of the war in Ukraine using Moscovici's typology of hegemonic, polemical and emancipated representations and a mixed-methods approach. Based on a survey (1,112 respondents), interviews and focus groups, the study identifies a hegemonic representation centred on fear, suffering and aspirations for peace. Polemical representations reveal polarised perspectives on political responsibility, with…
The power of representation
Social problems do not emerge spontaneously from social reality; rather, they are constructed through a complex process of social negotiation, representation, and institutionalization [ 1 , 2 ]. The central theoretical lens of the Collection “Social Representations in the Public Sphere: Unmasking the Dynamics of Social Problems in a Global Context”, that we had the honor of editing, is grounded in the model of representational naturalization , a …

Simulated Sense‐Making or Social Knowledge? Artificial Intelligence and the Boundaries of Representation
This article examines whether AI‐generated texts—such as stories produced by large language models (LLMs)—can be considered social representations as defined by social representation theory. This paper argues that AI‐generated outputs simulate communicative behaviour without participating in social processes of meaning‐making. Although these texts contain familiar symbols, metaphors or narrative structures, they lack dialogical co‐construction, i…
Power, interests and representations in the construction of alcopop as public problem in Quebec, Canada
Alcopops are malt-based or spirit-based sugary beverages whose consumption has led to numerous policies in different Western countries. This article examines the representational and socio-political dynamics surrounding the sale of alcopops that led to restrictive policies in Canada (2017–2020). Using qualitative methods during this period, including interviews with key players in the field of alcohol policy, analysis of press articles and review…
The Unsuspected Ties Between Linguistic Affiliation and Professional Distress in Healthcare Social Workers
This article explores the role of linguistic affiliation in the social representation of the professional distress of francophone healthcare social workers in minority settings. Faced with several contradictions in the literature on the influence of linguistic affiliation on mental health and workplace well-being, we conducted 30 semi-directed interviews with healthcare social workers in three provinces: Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. The t…
Mirrored Social Representations of Canadian Caseworkers with Migratory Paths Intervening with Refugees in the Host Country
In 2015, the resettlement of 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada placed a strain on social services. Caseworkers employed in these agencies often come from similar migratory trajectories to those of the refugees. This experiential proximity requires an understanding of the subjective perspectives that caseworkers with migratory paths have of refugees in the context of their professional practice. We analyzed fifteen individual interviews with Canadi…
Organizational Context and Healthcare Reforms
This study examined the lived experience of Canadian clinical social workers in light of the organizational context in which they work. The literature indicates an alarming rise of occupational psychological distress in social workers, which aligns with the rise of the neoliberal ideology within the Canadian healthcare sector. While we know that organizational constraints and structural reforms affect social worker's workplace well-being, it rema…
Social Representations of Children and Parents in Parliamentary-Committee Debates about the Inclusion of Child Psychological Maltreatment in the Quebec Youth Protection Act
Child psychological maltreatment (CPM) was incorporated into the Quebec Youth Protection Act (YPA) in 2006. At that time, various civil-society actors were invited to present to Parliament their views on these legislative changes. The objective of this article is to document the social representations mobilized by the stakeholders in the parliamentary committee in relation to the inclusion of CPM in the Quebec YPA. After explaining our research o…
Understanding professional distress through social representations
Our study sought to refine our understanding of professional distress by examining the experience of healthcare social workers in the following three Canadian provinces: Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. Thirty semi-directed interviews were conducted to explore the social workers’ social representation of professional distress and its ties to professional identity and growing organizational constraints. Attitudes, work–life imbalances, and neg…
The construction of social reality as a process of representational naturalization. The case of the social representation of drugs
This theoretical paper explores the role of social representations in the construction of social reality. Even though this question has been the subject of many debates, the actual processes and mechanisms through which social representations contribute to the construction of social reality have rarely been explored. Citing key works on the topic, the paper explores the role of the genesis of social representations in this process. Each stage of …
L'analyse de contenu dans l'étude des représentations sociales
Dans l’étude des représentations sociales l’on utilise de plus en plus de techniques de recueil des données dites qualitatives. Cependant, il n’y a pas encore une méthode d’analyse du matériel qualitatif en mesure de rendre compte de la dynamique représentationnelle tout en respectant la richesse conceptuelle des dernières évolutions de la théorie des représentations sociales. Dans le présent article, nous illustrons, sur l’exemple de l’étude de …
Social Representation of Social Work in the Canadian Healthcare Setting
Our article concerns the social representation of social work held by professional social workers in a Canadian healthcare setting. While there have been extensive theoretical debates on the professional identity of social workers, little is known about the representation of social work held by practitioners themselves. To better understand the viewpoints of practitioners, we performed an integrated content analysis of 30 semi-directed interviews…
The role of social representations in the construction of power relations
The conceptualizations of power, traditionally associated with control, have been nuanced in the past decades by influential authors such as Michel Foucault, Hannah Arendt and Pierre Bourdieu. These authors offer a perspective on power focused on the agency of individuals, with an emphasis on the way the dynamics and relations of power operate. Relying on these conceptual frameworks, we argue that the theory of social representations is of partic…
“If You’re a Parasite, Then You’re Not Normal”
Previous research in sociology has shown that what is considered as sanity or mental health is described according to a social ideal. Mental health problems have been theorized as a deviance from such norms. Depression, in particular, has been the object of sociological contemplation due to its divergence from a Western social normativity focused on functionality, adaptation and productivity. This research adds to this body of work on depression …

From Affirmed Privilege to Experiences of Discrimination
This paper explores the rarely addressed subject of linguistic majority in the context of Canadian society, through a qualitative analysis of 20 semi-directed interviews with majority Anglophone participants. It was found that while participants acknowledged a certain form of privilege related to their majority status within Canadian society, it was also common for them to experience situations in which they felt overlooked, marginalized and even…
L'intervention en sciences humaines
Ce livre qui se veut résolument pluridisciplinaire interroge la vraie ou juste place des représentations sociales dans un processus d’intervention. À quel moment et par quelles méthodes peut-on tenir compte des représentations des acteurs ? Est-ce possible d’un point de vue pratique ? Est-ce que les chercheurs et les praticiens de l’intervention ont une théorie des représentations ? Quelle est-elle ? Est-ce que les apports de l’intervention modif…
Work and Lifestyle
The situation of young fathers has been systematically associated in the literature with poverty, school drop-out and paternal disinvolvement. Very few studies on this phenomenon have sought to analyse the psycho-social mechanisms behind the engagement of young fathers in a social integration process. Thus, a quantitative and qualitative longitudinal study was conducted on a non-probability sample of thirty young fathers in the Gatineau area (Can…
