Reconhecimento social, identidade e linguagem: primeiros fragmentos de uma pesquisa sobre perspectivas teóricas atuais no contexto da Psicologia Social

Abstract

This paper presents the reflections that have led to the scientific initiation research project whose title is the one that names this text. This scientific initiation research project is linked to the project “Identity and Recognition: an analysis of the theories of today and its appropriations by Critical Social Psychology to think Another embodiment of the public sphere”, suported by FUNCAP and coordinated by Prof. PhD. Aluísio Ferreira de Lima of the UFC/ Brazil. It will present a questioning of the ideal of science proposed in the modernity – by philosophers like Galilei, Descartes, Bacon and Comte – and questions will be raised about the ethical and political implications of such ideal, considering the production of knowledge as something that can serve to the regulation of human possibilities or serve to the human emancipation. It will bring out theoretical considerations about the dynamics between the social recognition and the constitution of identity. Then it will deal with the problem raised by the nosologicalpsychiatric categorizations to the individuals’ identities. This research, therefore, intends to bring more support for the discussion of identity and recognition that is already being made by Critical Social Psychology by brazilian researchers such as Antonio Ciampa (1987), Juracy Almeida (2005) and Aluísio Lima (2010).
