Description
This book is the first comprehensive and book length treatment of social representation theory in the English language. The theory is presented as an approach towards the analysis of everyday thinking, feeling and talking where collective and individual psychological processes articulate. It departs from a general analysis of everyday thinking in psychology and presents the theory as a tool for the study of everyday discourse. It covers the theory, research, epistemology and methodology of the field.
