This article examines the importance of studying the sociological concept of social representation given the epistemological shift in several social sciences from an economic towards a cultural emphasis. Drawing on its presence in classical social theory as well as in contemporary concepts such as Jean Baudrillardtds simulacra, and Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias habitus, I argue that both are indispensable, within their specific discussions, for explaining contemporary sociocultural phenomena.
