Abstract

This chapter shows exactly what we would like to highlight as a working model of present and future psycho-social perspectives for Latin America in the Anthropocene based on social representations. It is the result of shared reflections between two researchers from different generations and national contexts regarding the potential of Social Representations Theory to promote ethico-political change.

previous chapter Social Representations in Motion: Concept Construction on Changing Subjects and Contexts

In Spanish: Latinoamerica en movimiento: miradas psisociales. The Network, currently in formation, aims to promote exchange, reflection and the construction of knowledge around psychosocial dynamics in Latin America, from an ethico-political perspective.

Bengoechea, Gonzalo Gómez, 2017: Latinoamérica, entre la esperanza y la incertidumbre, at: www.cambio16.com/actualidad/latinoamerica-entre-la-esperanza-y-la-incertidumbre (14 May 2017).

Those who have participated in the creation of the Network: Alfredo Guerrero Tapia (Mexico), Angela Arruda (Brazil), Clarilza Prado de Sousa (Brazil), Eduardo Aguirre (Colombia); Eréndira Serrano (Mexico); Erika Souza (Brazil); Franscisco Portugal (Brazil), Jorgelina Di Iorio (Argentina), Josefina Parra Toledo (Mexico); Lúcia Pintor Santiso Villas Bôas (Brazil); María de Fátima Flores Palacios (Mexico); Martha De Alba (Mexico); Paulo Afrânio Sant'Anna (Brazil); Silvia Vidrio Gutierrez (Mexico); Susana Seidmann (Argentina); Juana Juarez (Mexico).

Mireya Lozada, was part of the body of researchers who developed the Latin American Imaginaries Project. Within the scope of this Project, Adelina Novaes undertook her undergraduate degree under the supervision of Angela Arruda and her Master’s and PhD under the supervision of Clarilza Prado de Sousa.

According to Martín-Baró (1984: 504), “In more direct terms, mental health is a dimension of the relationships between people and groups rather than an individual state, although that dimension takes root in a different way in the organism of each of the individuals involved in these relationships, producing diverse manifestations (‘symptoms’) or states (‘syndromes’).”
