Abstract
The aims of this work are: (a) to describe the promotion of Social Representations in Argentina, and (b) to detect sociocognitive, critical and communicational orientations within the mentioned promotion, as well as its main lines of investigation. There is an initial approach to contextualize the Social Representations Theory on the framework of Social Psychology with a greater emphasis on the Latin American line. In this way, an attempt to set the background of the theory's local promotion is established. The methodology consists of documentary observation with an intensive use of indirect sources such as different web pages of seven universities in Argentina. As a conclusion, an almost total absence of communicational and critical orientations can be observed, and finally, the theory ends up being an excuse to make a mere description of the evaluated objects.
