That led us to think that beyond economic factors, such establishments must provide incentives and other satisfactions that explain their lure to consumers, and that the study of social representations on casinos should provide valuable information for understanding the reasons behind their use. This paper studies the social representations about casinos in 20 people attending them, with information gathered by conducting semi-structured interviews and collecting personal experience narratives. The results split into three sections: 1) Going to the casino, which describes the different conceptions of these establishments, as well as game strategies used by consumers; 2) What others think about my gambling, depicting various comments and opinions of family members and friends about casino customers; and 3) New social practices and behavior, in which both are described, discussed and analyzed in the context of Merida urban dynamics.En el marco de la dinamización económica del sector servicios, a partir de la última década los pobladores de Mérida, Yucatán, observaron la proliferación de establecimientos especializados en juegos de azar, con máquinas tragamonedas, juegos de apuestas y otros atractivos. La entidad se caracteriza por los salarios más bajos del país, sin embargo la aceptación social de los casinos, como opción de esparcimiento urbano, es elevada. Dichos establecimientos deben ofrecer satisfactores de otra índole que expliquen su poder de convocatoria. El estudio de las representaciones sociales sobre los casinos aporta información valiosa para entender las razones que motivan los usos y prácticas para acudir a ellos. Este trabajo estudia las representaciones sociales sobre los casinos de 20 personas que asisten a ellos. Utilizamos entrevistas semi-estructuradas y narraciones de experiencias personales. Exponemos los resultados en tres apartados: 1) Ir al casino, que describe las diferentes concepciones sobre dichos establecimientos y las estrategias de juego utilizadas. 2) Los demás qué opinan de mi juego, donde exponemos las opiniones de familiares y amigos sobre dicha práctica. 3) Nuevas prácticas y conductas sociales, en el que ambas se describen, discuten y analizan en el contextode la dinámica urbana de Mérida.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/101/82https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2REVISTA NODO; Vol. 8 Núm. 16 (2014); 55 - 702346-092X1909-3888Casinosjuegos de azarclientesrepresentaciones y prácticas socialesCasinosgamblingclientssocial practices and representationsSocial representations and emergent practices of clients attending casinos in Merida, YucatanRepresentaciones sociales y prácticas emergentes de los clientes de casinos en Mérida, Yucatáninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pareshttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Echeverría-Echeverría, RebelínCarrillo-Trujillo , CarlosFuentes-Gómez, JoséCastillo-León, Teresita123456789/10568oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/105682024-10-14 03:47:03.482metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co |
