The paper discusses dissonance engineering and its application to risk analysis of human-machine systems. Dissonance engineering relates to sciences and technologies relevant to dissonances, defined as conflicts between knowledge. The richness of the concept of dissonance is illustrated by a taxonomy that covers a variety of cognitive and organisational dissonances based on different conflict modes and baselines of their analysis. Knowledge control is discussed and related to strategies for accepting or rejecting dissonances. This acceptability process can be justified by a risk analysis of dissonances which takes into account their positive and negative impacts and several assessment criteria. A risk analysis method is presented and discussed along with practical examples of application. The paper then provides key points to motivate the development of risk analysis methods dedicated to dissonances in order to identify the balance between the positive and negative impacts and to improve the design and use of future human-machine system by reinforcing knowledge.

“…Considerando a "grande Teoria das Representações Sociais" (Sá, 1998), o estudo aqui apresentado se aproxima mais do que é conhecido como abordagem "processual" (Sá, 1998), "culturalista" (Santos, 2005), ou "sociogenética" (Rateau et. al.…”

RESUMO:O objetivo do estudo é refletir sobre relações entre representações sociais e práticas com base em um estudo sobre representações de Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP) elaboradas por professores do Ensino Fundamental no Rio de Janeiro. Foram realizadas entrevistas semidirigidas com 30 docentes de três escolas, 10 em cada escola, respectivamente Escola 1, Escola 2 e Escola 3. A análise apoiou-se na análise de conteúdo temática. Para os professores da Escola 1, uma unidade da UPP em frente ao portão principal provocou melhora nas práticas desenvolvidas na escola. A representação social desse objeto social, presente em interações e práticas cotidianas, objetivou-se no termo "segurança". Na Escola 2, com favelas próximas e sem UPP, os docentes não formaram representação social desse objeto, ausente de suas práticas. Com desconfiança da UPP, o "Estado" é o maior criticado, destaque no discurso desse grupo. Quanto aos professores da Escola 3, situada em bairro tradicional do Rio, sem favelas e sem UPP, esse objeto também não está nas práticas cotidianas, não havendo representação social. Um tipo de "segurança ideal", mais no plano da expectativa que da concretização, coordena o discurso desse grupo. As diferenças nos resultados entre os três grupos mostram que a presença da UPP nas práticas escolares, assim como das práticas na elaboração de representações sociais sobre esse objeto, está associada ao contexto de interação entre a UPP e os sujeitos. Se os campos de prática e de interações são diferentes, o campo representacional tende a ser diferente também.Palavras-chave: representações sociais; práticas; unidade de polícia pacificadora (UPP); professores; escola.ABSTRACT : The aim of this paper is to reflect upon the relation between social representations and practices based on a study on representations of Police Pacification Units ( UPP, in Brazilian Portuguese) done by Middle School teachers in Rio de Janeiro. Thirty teachers from three schools (10 from each school respectively School 1, School 2, School 3) had taken part in a semi-guided interview. The analysis has been backed up by thematic content analysis. According to the teachers in School 1, a UPP unit across from the main gate of the school has improved the practices at school. The social representation of this social medium, present in daily practices and interactions, turned out as "security". In School 2, which is surrounded by slums and without UPPS, the teachers did not constitute any social representation of this medium, missing its practices. With scepticism over UPPS, the Government is the one to be criticized, pointed out in those groups speech. Regarding School 3, placed in a traditional neighborhood in Rio, without slums or UPPS, that medium is not among in daily practices either, therefore, there is not social representation. Some kind of " ideal safety", more in terms of expectations than in terms of accomplishment, which coordinates this group's speech. The differences in the results among the three groups show that the presence o...

“…Ainsi, on peut penser que l'étude des représentations sociales en tant que système d'interprétation de la réalité, réalité qui gouverne les relations entre individus et groupes, dans leur environnement social et physique, et détermine croyances et pratiques (Abric, 1993(Abric, , 2001Rateau, Moliner, Guimelli, & Abric, 2011 ;Rateau & Weiss, 2011), pourrait fournir quelques éléments de compréhension concernant les attitudes stigmatisantes dont semblent être victimes les personnes obèses. C'est l'objet de cet article qui s'intéresse aux représentations de la personne obèse et de l'obésité chez des étudiantes.…”
