Social Psychology

Introduction

Social Psychology is a term that has been using since the last decade of the twentieth century. This movement comes to be constituted as a broad effort to reformulate the psychology in theory and practice. However Social change is an observable change in the time that affects a sustainable structure or function of the social organization of a community and changes the course of its history.

It's a misnomer to say that social change is the shift from a traditional society to modern society. There are, indeed, a plurality of traditional and modern societies. In addition, there is a coexistence of traditional and modern elements within the same company. Immigration is a permanent factor of tradition in that we tend to tense up on its traditions while they may fall into disuse in the country of origin. The process of transition from traditional society to modern society is not linear. From an ideological point of view, this passage has been associated with the idea of ??progress.

It has a tendency to think that tomorrow will be better than today. This idea was however challenged by historical events such as Hiroshima or the Holocaust. It was found that brilliant civilization as Germany could fall into barbarism (a concept more associated with traditional societies). The general term "discursive psychology" There are other "flavors" intellectual, which give rise to different approaches in the study of language. For example, within the broad field of discursive psychology, there is a "flavor" rhetoric that has consciously built on the work from classical rhetoric, in order to emphasize the nature of argumentative and persuasive language (eg Billig, 1987 and 1991). Rhetoric, and conversational analysis approach éthogénique interested in how language users behave in particular discursive contexts. As such they tend not to use the concept of "speech" within the meaning of the term Foucault, as a system of discursive practices found in a particular socio-historical context. However, some psychologists have discursivistes specifically adopted a Foucauldian perspective (eg Parker, 1992; Parker, 2002, Burman et al, 1996). There is an additional factor. Parallel to the development of discursive psychology, some of his followers from the very beginning have developed their own perspectives with the result that their latest work may have a different fragrance of their early work (see Wiggins & Potter, 2008).

The metaphor that compares different kinds of discursive psychology with different flavors of ice cream is likely to induce a little mistake. It suggests that we can easily combine the flavors according to our tastes, combining not such a scoop of vanilla with a scoop of strawberry. However, some proponents of these different forms do not see their approach as easily compatible. The Foucauldian criticized those that focus on interpersonal interactions, while in turn, those that focus primarily on the interaction have argued that Foucauldian tended to use a concept of abstract and idealized discourse. Within the discursive field of psychology, there is currently vigorous debate about the scope that can take the study ...
