En este artículo se muestra una aproximación, con la finalidad de analizar las cualidades personales que estudiantes de pregrado asignan al emprendimiento y las narrativas que se configuran alrededor de la figura de la persona emprendedora. Esta investigación se deriva de una tesis doctoral que se ocupa de la red de representaciones sociales de estudiantes universitarios acerca del emprendimiento. Para este fin, se realizó un ejercicio de asociación de palabras a 105 jóvenes y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 12 estudiantes de los últimos semestres de formación universitaria en el área del Diseño Gráfico, Ingeniería en Computación y Administración. En este escrito se presentan algunos de los resultados encontrados. A través de los relatos de las personas participantes, estuvo constantemente en la mira la relación del emprendimiento con la psicología positiva, la autoayuda y la forma en que hay una diseminación de cierto lenguaje y, con ello, de ciertas representaciones que se vinculan a los valores, los personajes, las conductas y los afectos, a través de los que se construye una realidad social sobre el emprendimiento. Se ofrece una moratoria motivacional para hacer frente a la precarización sistémica de las trayectorias vitales. Centro de Estudio Sociales.
