RATCLIFF, Marc J.  y  TAU, Ramiro. A networking model. The case of the International Center for Genetic Epistemology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.spe, pp. 1215-1238. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article reviews the process of conformation of the International Center for Genetic Epistemology (CIEG), which functioned at the University of Geneva between 1955 and 1986. This Center led by Jean Piaget had the collaboration of hundreds of researchers from around the world and from different disciplines. We will here review the configuration of the centripetal circuits that led to the constitution of an institution with a double centrality. On the one hand, taking into account the history of international scientific circulations, it is feasible to recognize in the CIEG a reference point from which the radial journeys of social exchanges with different scientific communities can be reconstructed. On the other hand, we can identify a research program that positioned psychology at the core of epistemological debates. To contribute to the historical analysis of this double movement of centration, geography and theory, we examine the development of a series of strategies tending to the start-up of the Center, deployed during the first years of the 1950s.

Palabras clave : International Center for Genetic Epistemology; CIEG; History; Piaget - Genetic epistemology; Psychology.
