During its history social psychology as a discipline has paid relatively little attention to language and communication. Just like in psychology, so in social psychology the starting point of inquiry has been primarily the individual or the self rather than the interdependence between the individual and others, or between the ego and alter. This paper presents the perspective according to which dialogism can serve as a framework for the study of social psychology. Dialogism is characterised here as the capacity of the human mind to conceive, create and communicate about social realities in terms of the “Alter”, i.e. in terms of another individual(s), groups, communities and cultures. Dialogical relations can be transmitted from generation to generation through collective memory, institutions and social practices. It is suggested that the theory of social representations can be conceived as a dialogically based theory.
