The paper presents a discussion on the role of Social Representations in the articulation between individual and collective dimensions of mental activity. An analysis of some concepts in the works of Wundt and Cattaneo is the starting point for a discussion of the relationship between individual processes, practices, artifacts, symbolic systems and functions of Social Representations in the development of culture and individuals. In this perspective, Social Representations could be considered a space of negotiation of the meaning. The relationship between Social Representations, symbolic systems, practices and sense making involves the elaboration of the tension between continuity and innovation, which is developed through communication and practice along time in the interaction between individual and collective minds.
本文讨论了社会表征在心理活动的个体维度与集体维度之间的衔接中所起的作用。对冯特和卡塔内奥著作中一些概念的分析，是探讨个体过程、实践、人工制品、符号系统与社会表征功能在文化和个体发展中的关系的起点。从这个角度来看，社会表征可被视为意义协商的空间。社会表征、符号系统、实践与意义建构之间的关系涉及对连续性与创新性之间张力的阐述，这种张力在个体与集体思维的互动中，通过长期的交流和实践得以发展。
