Abstract

WAENY, Maria Fernanda Costa  and  MACEDO, Cibele Mariano Vaz de. The Historical Multiplicity of Social Psychology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp. 353-372. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.50839.

The text reports search results for titles in social psychology before 1908 available in digital sources. This research returned little cited authors such as Philarète Chasles and Paul Lapie; it also made it possible to identify that the well-known titles of Gabriel Tarde and Charles Ellwood are, in fact, a selection of articles previously published; therefore, only the books of Chasles and Lapie are original publications. In a second stage of the research Chasles and Lapie were object of bibliographic research; investigating mentions to these authors, articles from researchers in history of social psychology were founded. The dataset obtained from this collection in primary sources and the analysis of some concepts and propositions in social psychology complement the object of this article. Finally, it is concluded that new digital methodologies and access to digital collections contribute to identify unpublished primary sources, which provide new historiographic perspectives and the investigation of conceptions prevailing in the period treated, but little known in relation to the multiplicity of social psychology; investigations like this can expand perspective about the process of social psychology constitution, renew research on this discipline and the narrative that has been built about it.

Keywords : history of social psychology; Philarète Chasles; Paul Lapie; Gabriel Tarde; digital humanities.
