In this dissertation, we seek to analyze, with the support of the theory of social representations, the ways in which certain meanings on poverty are produced and processed in social life, and the impact that such knowledge can play in the representations that the individuals, in this case women socially recognized as poor, have about themselves and their surroundings. To this end, we organized five chapters as papers. The first one discusses the role of dialogicity and its contributions as a category central to the development of a critical social psychology ; the second deals with the capitalist system in its neoliberal clothing and tries to highlight some of the values that sustains it ; the third outlines a reflection on certain recurrent speeches that, through various strategies, crystallize prejudices and justify repressive actions on those who are recognized as poor. The last two articles, both of empirical nature, were developed from contact with these women. In the fourth chapter, we tried to understand the social representations of poverty through 14 open interviews and an epistemological circle in a group with 12 participants. The Information was organized through a thematic analysis and interpreted through a critical psychosocial look. In general, we can say that the social representation of poverty is formed around two centers: one characterized by the poverty and other socioeconomic bias by morality and culture. Thus, in the first group, we have the description of the sorrow of poverty, the daily difficulties and stigmas built around this situation; in the second, we have the positives aspects of those who live this, characterizing them as strong -willed, good people, rich in the joy of living. In the last chapter, we start from the specifics points of one of the women participating in the study in order to think about the impacts of the neoliberal capitalist system in its production of subjectivity. The analysis shows, among other things, an intense pain resulting from the existential experience of occupying places of poverty in contemporary society.
