ACCORSSI, Aline; SCARPARO, Helena  and  PIZZINATO, Adolfo. Dialogicity as an Ontological and Epistemological Assumption in Social Psychology: Reflections Based on the Theory of Social Representations and the Pedagogy of Liberation. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2014, n.50, pp.31-42. ISSN 0123-885X.

This article discusses the role of dialogicity in the construction of a critical and emancipatory Social Psychology from an interactionist or genetic perspective of the Social Representations Theory. For this purpose we establish connections between the Social Representations Theory of Serge Moscovici and the Pedagogy of Liberation of Paulo Freire. In general both theories consider dialogicity an existential condition of human beings, i.e., one that permeates the ontological, epistemological and ethical fields of human praxis. Said category does not deny the tension and conflict of human relations; on the contrary, it comprehends that these characteristics are what make it possible to articulate dialogical strategies for social change.

Keywords : Dialogicity; Social Representations Theory; epistemology; Pedagogy of Liberation.
