A metamorfose humana no mundo da vida: reconstruções epistemológicas da perspectiva de identidade na psicologia social crítica

Abstract

In this dissertation, we rebuild the discussions between the perspective of human identity, postulated as a metamorphosis in Critical Social Psychology, and the intersections of the Critical Social Theory by Habermas with the historical-social aspects of the Phenomenology. This problem is relevant because it theoretically deepens, through epistemological research, the explicit and implicit statements in the discussions about the constitution of identities in the processes of construction of their metamorphoses in the Lifeworld. Our research includes, on the one hand, a reconstruction of the process of creation and solidification of the Identity-Metamorphosis-Emancipation syntagma, within the Critical Social Psychology; and, on the other hand, of Habermas's proposal about the Lifeworld in his Theory of Communicative Action (2012a and 2012b) from his own readings on the social-historical thought of the Phenomenology by Husserl, Schutz, Berger and Luckmann. Our sources of research were books, articles, theses, dissertations and manuscripts of the theoretical and epistemological referents described above. The argument is structured in: “Prologue”, an explanation of the intersection defended by Ciampa, Almeida and Lima between human metamorphoses and the Lifeworld, and a presentation of the path of reconstruction as a method; the chapter “The Identity-Metamorphosis-Emancipation syntagma” is a historical and epistemological construction, the process of formation, evolution and solidification of the construction of human metamorphosis as a search for emancipation, as a theory of identity in the perspective of Critical Social Psychology; the chapter “Meanings of the Lifeworld”, in which the social theory of Habermas’s Lifeworld is reconstructed from the analysis of a discussion about the scope of the Habermas reading about the Phenomenology of Husserl, Schutz, Berger y Luckmann; and finally, the “Epilogue”, in which we present phenomenological meanings for the building of critical stories about the processes of meaning of identities, starting from the subjective and intersubjective conditions of the world, that glimpse the emancipating processes of (re) existence.
