Abstract

SANT'ANNA, André Luís de Oliveira de; CASTRO, Alexandre de Carvalho  and  JACO-VILELA, Ana Maria. Historical fragments of the Indian as a rural worker in Work Psychology in the mid-twentieth century. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.71, n.3, pp.36-47. ISSN 1809-5267.  https://doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.ARBP2019v71i3p.36-47.

The objective of this article, about History of Psychology, is to analyze the contribution of the journal Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicotécnica (later called Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicologia Aplicada and Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicologia) to the study of the theme of indigenous peoples, because there are particularly relevant data in the historiographical scenario that tend to define the year 2004 as a starting point in the relations between Psychology and the study of Brazilian Indians. In this sense, from a survey carried out in the published issues from 1949 (year of creation of the journal) until 1968, four articles were analyzed. At that historical moment, the Indian was characterized by the Indian Protection Service (SPI) as a rural worker, and this article investigates the issue from the perspective of the Institute for Selection and Professional Guidance (ISOP), an institution that is considered to be emblematic in the field of the History of Work Psychology.

Keywords : Indian; Brazilian Archives of Psychotechnics; History of Work Psychology.
