Construtivismo ou construcionismo? Contribuições deste debate para a Psicologia Social

Constructivism or constructionism? Contributions from this debate to Social Psychology. This paper will discuss two contemporary approaches of psychology, constructionism and constructivism, the first one coming from Social Psychology, the other from Developmental Psychology. Even seemingly conflicting – constructionism tries to cope with constructions collectively elaborated by individuals, while constructivism tries to cope with the construction of cognitive structures elaborated by the individual during his development -, the argument seeks to indicate that both theoretical proposals are related to the conceptual basis of postmodern philosophical thought: critique of a possible access by the individual to an independent reality, rejection of a Cartesian approach of scientific inquiry grounded in the search of rigor and objectivity. However, the analysis fulfilled allows to the conclusion that the models considered accomplish a reduction, be it to the social or to the individual level. The paper finishes with a trial to integrate both models, a proposal to escape to the typical absence of balance in the psychological theorizations of social psychology, whose tradition is to emphasize the social or the individual in its theoretical models.

Contribuições das investigações de Annemarie Mol para a psicologia social

The paper presents the main contributions of the research undertaken by the physician and philosopher Annemarie Mol for research in social psychology. In the field of science, technology and society studies, the investigations conducted by the Dutch philosopher represent a practical turn, making a difference in the way in which, traditionally, actor- network theory lies in this field. Mols research is characterized by the affirmation of practices performative character, which leads her to question the ways of knowing and intervening in social sciences. Finally we discuss the scope of the notions ofABSTRACT.

O desenvolvimento cognitivo do ponto de vista da enação

Starting with the contributions of Rorty and Varela to pragmatism and biology, this essay discusses the compatibility of those approaches to the development model elaborated by Jean Piaget. Criticising reductionism, the pragmatism position proposes a materialist, physicalist, and non-reductive model of the relation of the individual and the world, while the Chilean school of biology suggests that human cognition should be understood as an action guided by perception, the enaction. Both approaches propose models best understood as networks in multiple levels which self organize and reorganize. Their conceptual proximity with Piagetian propositions is also considered.

Aqui eu sou cego, lá eu sou vidente: modos de ordenar eficiência e deficiência visual

Situating itself in the field of science, technology and society studies (STS), this paper investigates different ways of ordering visual impairment, that is, the ways in which disability is made in different practices, in a specialized institution. Relevant documents are analyzed in the field of visual impairment and in some cases, allowing one to discuss the concept of disability as a deficit. This paper stresses that the relationship between body and visual impairment should not be summarized to identify the visually impaired with the absence of a sensory function.Through the cases investigated, the authors propose to investigate the visual impairment through a body in action, which is defined by means of connections it establishes with the most disparate elements, human and nonhuman. This paper concludes by pointing out the political relevance of multiplying versions of visual efficiency and impairment, and so to subvert the conception of disability as a deficit.

Psicologia social, comunidade e contemporaneidade

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some unexpected cosequences of naive acceptance of community terminologies. Starting from post-modern sociologist Michel Maffesoli conclusions, the paper attempts to evaluate the contributions of anthropologist Marc Auge and philosophers Jacques Ranciere and Michel Serres about contemporaneity and ecological sensibility and its relations to the community subject, and it suggests that those analysis should be incorporated in social psychology , avoiding, at the same time, th engagement in conservative thinking.
