The generativity of the social representations theory for multiple paradigmatic approaches along different decades and across various geo-cultural contexts – continents

This contribution presents collective results of a research project carried out within the EC-approved SoReCom-Joint-IDP (http://www.europhd.eu/SoReComJointIDP) built on the top of an on-going project led since 20 years by A.S. de Rosa at the European/International Joint PhD on Social Representations and Communication Research Centre and Multimedia Lab. She has designed specific web-tools (including the on-line grid for the meta-theoretical analysis and the related web-inventories) aimed at conducting an empirical meta-theoretical analysis of the whole body on Social Representations, integrating quantitative and qualitative research tools and data analysis strategies. We will present a state of art of the literature on social representations all over the world - retrieved from the SoReCom ”A.S. de Rosa” @-library (de Rosa, 2014a, 2014b, 2015a, 2015b) - by analyzing texts which pertain to different paradigmatic approaches and geo-cultural contexts according to the most relevant categories listed within the grid for meta-theoretical analysis (v. February 2014).
