Download or read book Psychology of Liberation written by Maritza Montero and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, the psychology of liberation movement has been a catalyst for collective and individual change in communities throughout Latin America, and beyond; and recent political developments are making its powerful, transformative ideas more relevant than ever before. Psychology of Liberation: Theory and Applications updates the activist frameworks developed by Ignacio Martin-Baro and Paulo Freire with compelling stories from the frontlines of conflict in the developing and developed worlds, as social science and psychological practice are allied with struggles for peace, justice, and equality. In these chapters, liberation is presented as both an ongoing process and a core dimension of wellbeing, entailing the reconstruction of social identity and the transformation of all parties involved, both oppressed and oppressors. It also expands the social consciousness of professionals, bringing more profound meaning to practice and enhancing related areas such as peace psychology, as shown in articles such as these: Philippines: the role of liberation movements in the transition to democracy. Venezuela: liberation psychology as a therapeutic intervention with street youth. South Africa: the movement for representational knowledge. Muslim world: religion, the state, and the gendering of human rights. Ireland: linking personal and political development. Australia: addressing issues of racism, identity, and immigration. Colombia: building cultures of peace from the devastation of war. Psychology of Liberation demonstrates the commitment to overcome social injustices and oppression. The book is a critical resource for social and community psychologists as well as policy analysts. It can also be used as a text for graduate courses in psychology, sociology, social work and community studies.
Download or read book Latin American Advances in Subjectivity and Development written by Pablo Fossa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English to show how the work of Lev Vygotsky gave rise to a prolific and original school of cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. In recent decades, Latin American researchers have expanded Vygotskyan conceptualizations and applied practical theory to psychological and educational research and practice, but until now this production remained virtually unknown for English speaking audiences since it has been mainly published in Spanish and Portuguese. This timely volume contributes to change this situation by presenting a panoramic picture of the state of the art of cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. The book is divided in two parts. The first part shows how Latin American researchers used Vygotsky’s work to develop new theoretical elaborations and empirical advances to deal with different political, social and cultural problems in the region. The second part presents an overview of the current state of cultural-historical psychology in Latin America. Throughout its 15 chapters, the book shows how Latin American researchers contributed to the studies of different aspects of the cultural-historical theoretical conception of the development of higher psychological functions, such as concept formation, inner speech, zone of proximal development and imagination, and how these theoretical elaborations have been applied to research and practice in fields such as sociocultural psychology, developmental psychology, psychotherapy and education in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico. Latin American Advances in Subjectivity and Development - Through the Vygotsky Route will be an invaluable resource to researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of psychology, education and other social sciences interested in discovering or learning more about the original Latin American school of cultural-historical psychology.
Download or read book Personality and Person Perception Across Cultures written by Yueh-Ting Lee and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither human nature nor personality can be independent of culture. Human beings share certain social norms or rules within their cultural groups. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle held that man is by nature a social animal. Similarly, Xun Kuang (298-238 B.C.), a Chinese philosopher, pointed out that humans in social groups can not function without shared guidance or rules. This book is designed to provide readers with a perspective on how people are different from, and similar to, each other --both within and across cultures. One of its goals is to offer a practical guide for people preparing to interact with those whose cultural background is different from their own.
Download or read book El M Todo Arenas written by Joel L. Pez-P Rez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miguel Arenas Vargas, creador del método educativo que lleva su nombre, nació en la ciudad de México, Distrito Federal, el 14 de julio de 1940. Ha dedicado su vida a la formación de científicos independientes en pequeñas comunidades esparcidas en la periferia de la república mexicana a partir del reconocimiento que la sociedad mexicana, así como la de muchos países con economías en desarrollo necesitan de científicos para poder acceder a mejores condiciones de vida para sus habitantes. Al tratar de responder la pregunta: ¿Cómo aprende el hombre?, propone una revolución en la educación para la salud humana, la salud animal y el aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales, mediante innovaciones educativas que centran al estudiante en el aprendizaje auto‐dirigido y en la investigación como método de estudio. Este libro es producto de 30 años de trabajo pedagógico por parte de Joel López-Pérez y y17 años de inmersión en la innovación educativa por parte de Susana Juárez-López, ambos comprometidos con la formación de investigadores al lado de Miguel Arenas. El Método Arenas (MA) utiliza las estrategias del PBL (Problem Based Learning) ligado a otras técnicas de aprendizaje grupales, como los grupos operativos de Pichón Riviere, y las Comunidades de Práctica (COPs) ampliamente estudiadas por Jean Lave y Etienne Wenger desde la última década del siglo XX, para hacer de las reuniones de discusión una experiencia óptima que fluye para hacer consciente el inconsciente y generar cambios en la mente de los participantes. El componente educativo fundamental de este revolucionario método es el acto consciente, ya que las cosas adquieren importancia para nosotros cuando somos conscientes de su existencia, que es el pensamiento central en los grupos que han adoptado las formas de preceder propuestas por Miguel Arenas.
