| Summary: | This paper aims to systematize, in a preliminary way, some approximations and contributions of Darcy Ribeiro to the Latin American and, consequently, to Brazilian Social Psychology. This is a theoretical study focusing on the book "The Brazilian People: The Formation and Meaning of Brazil", his seminal work, which covers a series of previous productions. The work is structured in three parts: a summary presentation of the academic-political path of Darcy and the pillars of his thought; the explication of his contributions to Latin American Social Psychology; and a contextualization on Social Psychology and possible directions for extending this relationship. We consider that the contributions of Darcy to Brazilian Social Psychology are: (a) The rescue of historical dimension in the analysis of Brazilian reality and the people that conform it; (b) A dialectical character of this reality; and (c) Social transformation as an ethical-political horizon. To think of a Brazilian Social Psychology, or a 'Brunette Social Psychology', inspired by the brunette socialism of Darcy, implies overcoming its own nobodyness by accepting its Brazilianness. A Brazilian Social Psychology that, as its people need, will turn more and more to itself, living its own intellectual/academic and practical project, breaking with its misery of colonial dependence.. |
