O sociodrama como método de captação das representações sociais

Abstract

Social representations refer to a set of concepts, ideas and explanations about the world and the context in which one lives. In addition, it has the function of making familiar what was unknown. In order to capture the social representations one can make use of the sociodrama, since it understands that the subject crosses and is crossed by relations and still provides tools to work these intergroup relations. Thus, this article intends, through a sociodramatic experience with fifteen adolescents of a social project to reflect on the possibility of its use for the capture of social representations. For this, the active research was used, having as modality the experience report and qualitative approach. The tools used were: dramatization, theatricalisation, guided fantasy, vignettes and games. From the sociodrama with these adolescents the processes of anchoring and objectification of the representations were evidenced, being possible to identify the information about the objects; characterize the favorable or unfavorable attitudes towards the scenes; in addition, through the sculptures, concretizations and dramatisations, the images that constitute a social representation are evident and this, in turn, can contribute in the clarification of the conserved roles and re-signification of scenes.
