About a particular category of social representations in political psychology

Summary/Abstract: The psychology of politics identifies for the social representations of the „citizen-as-thought-about” peculiar properties which make them differ from the „civil” representations. As opposed to the latter, the former have entered the law, they have ethical implications and universalist ambitions, and they bind into a project that supports the power. The appropriation of the representation of the „citizen-as-thought-about by the citizen-who-thinks could explain the ultimate conformity of the individual action to the representation of the citizen-as-thought-about. On the contrary, the minority process is likely to transform this representation.
