Abstract

SILVA, Kátya de Brito e  and  MACEDO, João Paulo. Psychology and the agrarian question in Brazil: new challenges for the profession. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.1, pp. 1-27. ISSN 1983-8220.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36298/gerais202114e15903.

The agrarian question concerns a social problem arising from the concentration of the land structure, which is responsible for generating concentration of wealth and, thus, social and regional inequalities. This article proposes to investigate how the production of Brazilian knowledge in Psychology has addressed the theme of the agrarian question in its studies, as well as has contributed to produce guidelines for the profession. With this purpose, a bibliographic study was conducted in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) database in January 2017, and 18 articles addressing the theme were found. The analysis of the material considered the following axes: understandings of Psychology about the agrarian question, and theoretical, analytical and practices approaches of Psychology about the agrarian question. It is expected to collaborate with the debate about the insertion of Psychology in the discussion on the agrarian question, contributing to the problematization of its participation in the field of ruralities.

Keywords : Psychology; Agrarian question; Rural.
