Social representations of the city and the others

Abstract

This article approaches the particularities of the social order of multicultural contexts, from the study of the social representations of located subjects historically, that they allow to understand the way in that the relations between different groups throughout the constitution from these localities are formed; the forms in which these relations in the space structure are materialized, and the meaning of the subjects that orient their social interactions. In this sense, the social representations of two cultural groups are analyzed: foreigners and authentic coletos, about the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, and the indigenous established in this one.
