“…Bailey's academic work centered on the problematic race relations between Blacks and Whites in the South, a central subject in Odum's subsequent intellectual path. Bailey actively oriented him toward these questions while, in the best ideological line of American progressivism (Eisenach, 2006;Ekirch, 1973), he infected him with a firm, determined confidence in the reformist potential of knowledge and scientific research (Brazil, 1988;Rotabi, 2007;Sanders, 2003).…”

This study focuses on the analysis of the early work of Howard W. Odum (1884-1954) and the examination of the psychological aspects that marked his reflection on African American music. This analysis reveals many of the aspects that were generically shared by the psychological agenda of the period when analyzing aesthetic experience and activity. Outstanding among these are the relationship of the musical phenomenon with very basic or primary affective-emotional dimensions, the conception of the musical phenomenon as an indicator of the cognitive-affective development of human groups, its expression in the form of cultural and complex intersubjective products, or its possible participation in the technoscientific design of social reform and progress. The simultaneous treatment of all of these aspects in Odum's work brings to light the interdisciplinary framework in which early psychology moved, while revealing the theoretical and ideological contradictions and controversies that enveloped the discipline, above all, at the point where it attempted to place itself at the service of the constitution of self-governed individuals. All in all, Odum's work also reflects the crucial role that early psychology attributed to art as a privileged medium to give meaning to experience and the human being's vital purposes.

“…This is historically known as the political and intellectual movement that developed between the last glimmer of the 19th century and the end of the First World War, and reacted against the political corruption and the most perverse effects of industrialization and laissez-faire individualism. This reaction was due in part to the progressives' sensitivity to social injustice and in part because of their perception that democratic egalitarianism could be at risk if these effects became pronounced (Eisenach, 2006; Ekirch, 1973). Apart from this, there was no body of programmed ideas, but rather a diffuse ideology.…”

Arland Deyett Weeks (1871-1936) was an American educator and social reformer who published The Psychology of Citizenship in 1917 with the intention of compiling the psychological, psychobiological, and psychosocial knowledge needed for governing modern democratic Western industrialized societies, as well as offering suggestions for intervention and social reform in the educational, legal, and occupational domains. His point of view can be placed within the progressive social and intellectual movement that characterized the policies of the United States in the first decade of the 20th century. His sociopolitical ideas were fed by transcendental and pragmatic sources, especially with respect to the way of dealing with tension between the individual and the collective. Modern psychological techniques (occupational, educational, legal psychology, etc.) nourished his reform program. In this article, we contextualize Weeks's book within these ideas and show its historical significance in the sociocultural and intellectual context that gave it meaning.
