| Summary: |
The article presents the results of the research project,
part of the research group �Sphere of the public and
citizen participation�, in the research line �Training in
Ethics and Politics�. There are presented the definitions
of the basic categories of analysis, the methodological
process of gathering information through
analysis matrices and, finally, the results obtained.
The focus of this article is to present the analysis and
discussion of the results achieved, and therefore the
approach to social representations that the students
of the Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores have
developed about the public. The study was based on
the selection and order made by students of provided
images, which are related to certain elements
of the public determined with the above categories,
around hypothetical matrix raised for research: on
which are the places where the public relations can
be located preferentially; if this is the constituent (is
built?) or is made (is learned?); and on the relational
aspect of the public: is interaction, roles or codes?
In two areas: languages (verbal, iconic, body) and
values. It is found that the social representation that
students have built about public consists of leaders
clearly identifiable by their social roles and functions
related to political activism as spatially located in places
of gratuity and freedom, whose purpose is the
common good, in which the expected sense is of safety
and protection. Despite this positive view of the
public, the attitude on occupy a political and active
role is reluctant and negative, which is analyzed as
detrimental to the role and status of the student as
a political and critical actor in the development and
construction of community and society. |
