Interacionismo simbólico: origens, pressupostos e contribuições aos estudos em Psicologia Social

Abstract

O estudo aborda a perspectiva teórica denominada interacionismo simbólico, com o objetivo de resgatar suas origens, consolidação, pressupostos centrais e contribuições ao campo da Psicologia social. com base em revisão de literatura, são examinadas algumas concepções de pensadores reconhecidos como precursores dessa corrente, com destaque para o trabalho de George Mead. Os marcos iniciais da estruturação do movimento interacionista simbólico (cujo nome e principais pressupostos foram estabelecidos por Herbert Blumer) e as diferentes possibilidades de operacionalização do conceito, representadas pelas divergências conceituais e metodológicas das Escolas de chicago e Iowa, constituem os pontos centrais da discussão. No intuito de identificar os principais desdobramentos oriundos das concepções interacionistas, são brevemente expostas as abordagens de estudiosos como Strauss, Shibutani, Berger e Luckmann, e Stryker. Por fim, com base na revisão empreendida, que permitiu identificar diferentes pontos de vista acerca da abordagem interacionista simbólica, conclui-se que sua evolução e fortalecimento ao longo do tempo contribuíram para que pudesse se sustentar como uma perspectiva teórica com amplas possibilidades de aplicação nos estudos da vida social.

“…This theoretical reference is based on the assumption that the meanings that a given group has about an object guides human social behavior, even though modifications can occur as people gain new knowledge. 15 Thus, it can be considered a priori that the search for GDM consultations is anchored in the meaning attributed by the mothers of the children, who, in turn, are influenced by the customs and values embedded in the traditional knowledge of their own community. This traditional knowledge can be influenced by contact with people from the continent as well as interactions between quilombola mothers and health professionals, including those who follow the growth and development of their children, as this quilombo community is located less than 25 km from the state capital.…”

<b>Knowledge of man about breastfeeding

“…This is a reference to its roots in sociology. It argues that to achieve understanding of a social process, it is necessary to take possession of experience in a particular context (Carvalho, Borges & Rego, 2010). It also refers to the human being as an active agent, while engaged in processes and not as passive recipients of larger forces involved structures.…”
