CONTACT:Carissa Sharp
DESCRIPTION:A social representations approach to the study of Intergroup C
 ontact can enrich the mainstream work around contact hypothesis originally
  proposed by Allport (1954) by introducing a more nuanced approach to the 
 way contact and representations are articulated . After situating the Cypr
 us issue in its historical context I present an analysis of present identi
 ty positions\, within each community\, as perspectives on intergroup relat
 ions that canalise the past-present-future transition and discuss how repr
 esentation of the past can be conceptualised as laying the ground for the 
 emergence of  resistance (Duveen\,2001)in relation to the potential of con
 tact to lead to the reduction of prejudice and promotion of trust.
