SEIDMANN, Susana; DI IORIO, Jorgelina; AZZOLLINI, Susana  and  RIGUEIRAL, Gustavo. Use of graphic techniques in research on social representations. Anu. investig. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.1, pp.177-185. ISSN 1851-1686.

The aim of this article is to think about the use of drawings in social representations research. The images constitute an autonomous semiotic system that permits to explore social meanings constructed in relation to a theme. They constitute graphic narratives in which psychosocial and historic- cultural aspects are interwoven. For this purpose, and to illustrate it, we present results from a research about social representations of everyday life of young people who don´t belong to neither the educational nor the formal working system, called after Reutilinger (2001) "invisible youth". The images show the lived social space, and at the same time, a relation map which illustrate the construction of a certain social identity. The results obtained agree with those attained with other techniques used in this research, which accounts for the triangulation of sources, as a way to validate outcomes.

Keywords : Social representations; Drawings; Everyday life.
