Psicologia Social, História Cultural e Filosofia da Diferença: a análise de documentos.

Abstract

This article is a theoretical essay and aims to describe some research procedures, in conjunction between Social Psychology, Cultural History and the Philosophy of Difference, from the document analysis as a methodology and modality of resistance. Some are analyzed subjectivation processes, types of power relations and production practices of truth in documentary research, which make it possible to break with crystallizations and open passages to new stories. For this purpose, supports are brought from Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel de Certeau, Roger Chartier, Peter Burke and Paul Veyne. The aesthetics of existences can be effected by ethical assessments in research and by positions policies, constituted in the work of historical and documentary analysis. Contributions from Social Psychology can be linked to the Philosophy of Difference, based on tools of Cultural History and, thus, allow studies that trigger resistance and the creation of possibilities.
