ROBERTAZZI, Margarita. Historical social psychology: theory and construction of knowledge. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.1, pp.21-58. ISSN 1515-9485.

This paper is about the relevance of considering historical perspective in Social Psychology as a way to distinguish epistemic logic, articulated with more comprehensive political and cultural processes, in a practical-technical field characterized by theoretical-conceptual heterogeneity. A discipline is presented in which multiple perspectives converge, and at the same time it intends to recover the ideas of classical authors such as Meyerson and Elías because of the present relevance of their psychosocial views in the comprehension of the intricate individual-collective articulation, as well as in the necessary reflection about research in social sciences and social psychology. Finally, an argument is developed to support a Historical Social Psychology capable of posing questions to both the effects of subjectivity and the ways of production of knowledge, yet clearly focused on the study and transformation of problems that affect society and, in particular, victims.
