Abstract

This is a study about the conceptions of subject, subjectivity, intersubjectivity and emotions that the theoretical corpus of the Social Psychology presents. For this purpose, teachers of Brazilian post-graduation programmes on Social Psychology, members of the ABRAPSO (Associação Brasileira de Psicologia Social) were chosen as respondents. They are 39 teachers from the major universities, such as PUC/SP, USP, UFRJ, UERJ, UGF/RJ, UFMG, PUC/RS, and UFRGS. A history of the maio prevailing trends is algo presented, as weIl as a summary of the maio events of the Social Psychology in Brazil, moreover those related to the foundation and consolidation of the ABRAPSO, focusing the several perspectives in the latter decades and emphasizingthe national meetings and the association's journal, Psicologia & Sociedade. The analysis of the various conceptions of subjectivity, intersubjectivityand emotions, as weIl as the various ways to view them and to deal with them, contribute in the search ofthe subtIenesses and particularities comprised in the conceptions ofthe respondents. The concepts of subject emphasized are related to the faIlawing aspects: a) in the deep-roating on a psychalagical and/or philosophical theory; b) connected to a cIassical psychological and/or psychosociologicaltheory or concept; c) in the productian of subjectivity and ways of subjectivatian; d) in the centralisation af speech; e) in the preservation of the individual; f) in the absence of the emancipated subject; g) in the affirmance of the creative and transformativti subject. The conceptions under analysis demonstrate the variety of theoretical methodological approachs of the ABRAPSO in Social Psychology. This trend expresses the possibility to configure an identity amang diverge eIements as weIl as the possibilityof risks, since the attempt of minding the diversity may have as results the reification and ideologisation of the categaries and the disintegration of the theories, thus making difficult the denouncement and the disruption with the various forros af fragmentation, which must characterize their critical attitude and their ethical-palitical commitment with mankind and with the social-historical changes in the society
