Abstract

This article suggests a reflection on the forms of conceptualization of poverty and the constellation of similar concepts as marginalization, vulnerability, inequality, exclusion and gender discrimination and ethnic associated with the understanding of poverty. On the other hand the text suggests some clarifications about the approach of social representations for the understanding of this phenomenon itself as well as the logic of intervention about it, and because from this perspective it is possible considering the material and symbolic dimensions of poverty and their mutual relations.
