social constructivism  

Definición

  • Social constructivism with respect to a given phenomenon is the view that the latter does not possess an independent existence but is “constructed”—that is, generated and maintained through collective human action, thought, discourse, or other social practices. Constructivism is thus antithetical to realism with respect to the same entities, which would ascribe autonomous existence to them.
