The concept of vulnerability: benchmarks and issues of a category of Social - Exploratory Semantic Research
Keywords:
Semantic maps, dictionary, exclusion, social representations, vulnerabilityAbstract
In a few years, in France, political and media discourses on vulnerability have replaced discourses on exclusion. This exploratory study aims to measure the transformations of social representations of exclusion by analyzing the semantic maps of this notion and the more recent vulnerability. The semantic maps are built from thesaurus dictionary. At the end of this analysis, we will observe an evolution of social representations with the use of the notion of vulnerability, which focuses on the individual, and not on the social system, the full weight of his fragility.Downloads
