From the Playful Strenuousness of Pará’s Pássaro Junino to William James’s Strenuous Mood
The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between aesthetics and ethics in human cultural experience by focusing on the interplay of playfulness and seriousness in Pássaro Junino (Bird of June), a popular musical theater tradition from Pará, Brazil. Reflection on the efforts of resistance and persistence undertaken to prevent the disappearance of the Pássaro led us to construct the notion of playful strenuousness , designating the wa…
Coordinated Actions at Free Play Activities on Children Interethnic Encounters
This study aimed to investigate coordinated actions built between Mbya-Guarani and non-indigenous children during free play activities. 21 Mbya-Guarani and 61 non-indigenous children participated in two “Encounters for Play,” a project constructed by the Indigenous Network and Mbya-Guarani communities. We recorded children’s social interactions during the free playtimes, selected the first and last 10 minutes of each encounter: (1) Performed scan…
Perspectives on Indigenous Psychology in Brazil
Perspectivas em Psicologia Indígena no Brasil
In the last few decades, indigenous psychology has emerged as an international intellectual movement that offers resistance to the missionary proposalsof psychologies, reflected or unreflected, to promote the Eurocentric tradition under the guise of scientificity. Debates about sociocultural specificities in the construction of psychological theories and systems have been raised since the foundation ofpsychology as a science and profession. Howev…
Challenges and Concerns in Assisting Indigenous People with Suicide Attempts
Theoretical-methodological implications for research from the ethical standpoint of Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism in Psychology
Introduction to the Tenetehar-Tembé psychology through the rites of construction of women leaders
The article discusses psychological practices and knowledge from the Tenetehar-Tembé (an Indigenous people who live on many riverside regions in the states of Pará and Maranhão, Brazil) tradition. Their rites and narratives carry processes of construction of women as leaders. We argue that, through the community processes of construction of the person, Tenetehar-Tembé women effectively become references for decision-making inside each community a…
Dialogical Metapsychology in Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism
The role of the Ifá in the construction of the person in relation to death
According to the Adjatado systems of knowledge, the Ifá is a mediator between the world of the living and of the dead and this mediation depends on the funerary rites. Ifá is a word used to refer to the science of divination, the son of God, among other names. It is present from a person’s birth to death. The paper discusses the Ifá’s relation with the cultural processes of the construction of the Adjatado person, assuming its significant role in…
Indigenous Psychology as a General Science for Escaping the Snares of Psychological Methodolatry
Militância enquanto Convite ao Diálogo
Este artigo é uma produção teórica de caráter reflexivo que focaliza a relação entre pesquisa e militância a partir do construtivismo semiótico-cultural em psicologia, tendo como base o caso da militância monodissidente. A noção de monodissidência foi cunhada no percurso da militância bissexual para se referir a uma ferramenta analítica de ordem político-comunitária que contempla todas as pessoas que se atraem sexual e/ou romanticamente por mais …
Cultural Area as a Guide in the Construction of the Person
The cultural ground of academic knowledge construction
A Tarefa Histórica da Psicologia Indígena diante dos 60 anos da Regulamentação da Psicologia no Brasil
A constituição da psicologia como profissão e área acadêmico-científica se nutriu de saberes psicológicos presentes no campo cultural. A ciência e a profissão desdobram tais saberes em atenção a demandas do campo social. Quando esses conhecimentos, práticas e demandas são ingênua ou intencionalmente tomados como gerais e universais, há o risco de se reproduzir violências epistêmicas, eliminando as oportunidades de partilha e contribuição dos dive…
Group cohesiveness in children free‐play activity
Despite the ethnic diversity and presence of Amerindian communities in all Brazilian states, the indigenous population suffers from a long process of invisibility and stereotyping. Aiming to increase interethnic associations, together with Mbya‐Guarani leaders we promoted interventions in which indigenous and non‐indigenous children shared free playtime. We hypothesised that free play activity would stimulate group cohesiveness, mitigating ethnic…
Towards rethinking the primacy of epistemology in psychology
Within psychology, epistemology is treated by many scholars explicitly or implicitly as a default first principle. Within this special section, this positioning is brought into question. Contributors consider broadening the philosophical foundations of our discipline to also overtly include ethical, existential, and cosmological concerns alongside epistemology considerations. We present five articles that each showcase very different approaches i…
Where is semiotic-cultural constructivism in psychology heading? Contemporary reflections on the trajectory of an approach to cultural psychology
This article aims to discuss the relationship between personal cultural experience and knowledge construction in psychology, from the perspective of the Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism. The thoughts here presented are, at the same time, from within psychology and about psychology. The researcher is culturally situated and science is a field of production of cultural works that aims to create perspectives of knowledge about the world. Researchers…
For a knowledge with the other in psychological science
In our comment on Held (2020) we attempt to deepen her criticism and reflection about epistemic violence while addressing the need for its elimination in psychological science. We acknowledge her argument about the prepositional divisions that emerge between two large groups of psychologies or psychologists (mainstream psychology vs. Indigenous and critical psychologies): from above and from below. In relation to these prepositional problems, we …

Towards a cultural revision of psychological concepts
Chinese psychologists present important considerations on the individualism-collectivism dichotomy, which has become a dominant reference in cross-cultural studies since the 80s. They observe that cross-cultural psychology has failed to define the concepts of collectivism and individualism in a precise manner, making it difficult to measure accurately intercultural differences. I argue that culture is a fundamental dimension of human experience. …
Is everybody human? The relationship between humanity and animality in Western and Amerindian myth narratives
The general problem this research approaches is the observation that, in Western cultures, Human occupies a central place and is identified with the cosmological wholeness—a worldview which is in tune with the paradigm of massive abuses that are practiced against animals who 1 are exploited by industry worldwide and with the environmental catastrophe we witness nowadays. Departing from that problem, this paper presents and discusses the Western n…

Expanding dialogical analysis across (sub-)cultural backgrounds
This paper aims to develop a diagram as a tool for analysing empirical data concerning the issue of difference of subcultural backgrounds and worldviews in the dialogue and its implications to the psychological practice in social work. From a theoretical view on dialogical and cultural psychology, we will trace the roots of selected contemporary dialogical and social representation theories and elaborate on it how distinct subcultures of interloc…

An Invitation to Travel in an Interethnic Arena
Symbolic Objects as Sediments of the Intersubjective Stream of Feelings
Commentary
Palestinian youth is challenged by multiple discourses in the process of constitution of its identity. This discursive multiplicity, characteristic of contemporary global societies, is confronted with personal life experiences, giving meaning to primarily nebulous affective impacts in the social environment. Starting from a semiotic—cultural perspective in cultural psychology one can establish a link between the notion of master narrative used by…

Amerindian anthropology and cultural psychology
Addressing integrative possibilities between psychology and anthropology, this paper aims to design conceptual linkages between semiotic-cultural constructivist psychology and the anthropological theory of Amerindian perspectivism. From the psychological view, it is the interdependence between the structural and processual dimensions of the personal culture that makes parallels with Amerindian perspectivism fruitful. This anthropological frame pr…
Scientific concepts and public policies
I attempt to articulate Jahoda’s (2012) critical reflections regarding definitions of culture in recent cross-cultural studies and Moghaddam’s (2012) claims of an omnicultural imperative to guide the elaboration of public policies for managing relationships among human groups from different cultural origins. For this, I will approach some aspects of the socio-historical and ontogenetic roots of the notion of culture. The notion of culture and the…
