SEIDMANN, Susana; DI IORIO, Jorgelina; AZZOLLINI, Susana  and  RIGUEIRAL, Gustavo. Sociability in the margins: practices and social representations about homeless people in Buenos Aires city of persons who are part of organizations that provide social assistance. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.1, pp.253-261. ISSN 1851-1686.

Results of a preliminary compilation are presented in this paper, whose aim is to describe the social representations constructed by persons who are part of organizations that make social assistance and identify social discourses in which social representations are anchored. Through an intentional sample, 10 institutional operators, who work in the social attendance circuit, participated. Depth interviews were carried on and emergent categories were constructed, through an axial and selective analysis. The results obtained discover the social representations and practices anchorage of people living in the street through two discourses or logics in tension - the tutelary logic and the restorative logic. We infer that both of them include an ontological, epistemological and ethical dimension, which outline juxtaposed ways of conceiving people living in the streets and the interventions with this population.

Keywords : Social representations; Social practices; People living in the streets; Social operators.
