Social Representations, Practices and
Challenges in Uncertainty Scenarios
WHAT IS CIRS?
The International Conference on Social Representations (CIRS) has been established as an important biannual academic event, alternating mainly between Europe and Latin America. As proposed by Rosa (2019), the CIRS is constituted as the main world scientific scenario to disseminate and promote the development of the Theory of Social Representations and its relationship with related research fields.
The purpose of the CIRS is to address relevant and innovative advances in theoretical, methodological, applied, and disciplinary aspects of the theory proposed by Serge Moscovici. The XVI version will be supported by the Serge Moscovici World Network (REMOSCO) and the National University of Colombia. The event will take place in Bogota-Colombia in 2023, therefore, it will be the sixth time that Latin America welcomes the CIRS and will leave in evidence the relevance that the theory has for the region. Colombia will be the fourth Latin American country to organize this event, after Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. This edition will follow that of Athens 2021 which was rescheduled due to the global confinement due to the pandemic of COVID-19 and was carried out under a virtual modality.
​
The CIRS in Bogota will mark the 30th anniversary of its uninterrupted existence since its debut in Ravello, Italy, in 1992. Likewise, the return to physical attendance will provide the opportunity to strengthen the networks of work and interdisciplinary connections between researchers from Latin America and countries of different continents, Therefore, it will contribute to promoting new developments in the Theory of Social Representations.
SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS, PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES IN SCENARIOS OF UNCERTAINTY
The central theme of the XVI CIRS will address the relationship between social representations and practices, two aspects of social life that maintain a close link, which show the otherness, the symbolic character and the dialectical interaction of human actions. In addition, it implies important theoretical and practical challenges, especially associated with the understanding of actions in particular contexts of uncertainty, such as education, health, the environment, politics, communication, among others.

What is the difference between all the modalities of participation?The event has four participation modalities, where three are to participate as a speaker and one as an assistant. The three modalities of participation as a speaker are: 1. Poster: Design a graphic representation of your work describing the most relevant characteristics and present it at the event. There will be an oral presentation of the poster in public and continuous sessions. 2. Symposium: Coordinate your group of colleagues (maximum 4 people per group) and participate in this modality. It must be presented one topic per group and this will be addressed from different points of view in individual interventions. 3. Thematic table: Presentation of free communications, organized in shared tables according to the thematic selected by the speaker. There will be parallel sessions of 15 minutes per participant and 5 minutes for discussion for each presentation. *These modalities of participation include a PRESENTATION certificate.
