Abstract(s)
Este estudo trata das representações sociais. As representações sociais
constituem o que os indivíduos pensam conhecer e são persuadidos a saber
sobre objetos, pessoas e situações. Representar é um ato de pensamento pelo
qual um sujeito estabelece uma relação de interpretação e simbolização com um
objeto.
Nossa pesquisa visa identificar se as representações sociais que estudantes
estrangeiros em intercâmbio universitário têm do Brasil e dos brasileiros depois
de se mudarem para esse país coincidem ou não com os estereótipos do Brasil
e dos brasileiros em seus países.
Ela objetiva também averiguar se a percepção que estudantes estrangeiros em
intercâmbio universitário têm de seu próprio país e de sua cultura de origem pode
ser alterada por meio de imersão em outro país (e, consequentemente, outra
cultura) e de interação com seus habitantes, neste caso o Brasil e os brasileiros.
Os processos de construção, de desconstrução e de reconstrução das
representações de cada indivíduo estão ligados às informações que cada um
possui e às interações que cada um efetua. As interações com o outro podem
desencadear um processo de reflexão onde o outro mostra (através da
diferença) como somos, como pensamos e como vivemos. É o reconhecimento
do outro e a redescoberta de si mesmo, de sua identidade, através do outro.
Existe uma relação dialética entre identidade e cultura. A própria construção das
imagens com que os indivíduos se percebem passa pelo emaranhado de suas
culturas, nos pontos de interseção com suas vidas individuais.
A cultura permeia tudo o que acontece na vida dos indivíduos e todas as
representações que eles têm dela.
This study deals with social representations. Social representations are what individuals think they know and are persuaded to know about objects, people, and situations. Representing is an act of thought by which a subject establishes a relationship of interpretation and symbolization with an object. Our research aims to identify whether the social representations that foreign students on university exchange have of Brazil and Brazilians after moving to that country coincide or not with the stereotypes of Brazil and Brazilians in their countries. It also aims to investigate whether the perception that foreign students on university exchange have of their own country and their culture of origin can be changed through immersion in another country (and, consequently, in another culture) and interaction with its inhabitants, in this case the Brazil and Brazilians. The processes of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction of each individual's representations are linked to the information that each one possesses and the interactions that each one carries out. Interactions with others can trigger a process of reflection where the other shows (through difference) how we are, how we think, and how we live. It is the recognition of the other and the rediscovery of oneself, of one's identity, through the other. There is a dialectical relationship between identity and culture. The very construction of the images with which individuals perceive themselves passes through the tangle of their cultures, at the points of intersection with their individual lives. Culture permeates everything that happens in individuals' lives and all the representations they have of it.
