Cartography as a methodological strategy in the production of intervention devices in Social Psychology

Abstract

The paper proposes to unfold questions about cartographic intervention-research toward contributing to the construction of intervention devices in Social Psychology’s work. Considering the contemporary challenges to Psychology, it presents cartography as a methodology that produces dialogical encounter, involving researchers and subjects in the negotiation of meanings and actions that grasp the complexity of everyday life. It develops the possibility of cartography to concur unique interventional devices, enhancing an ethic of encounters. Thus, we affirm that cartographic devices offer consistent ways to develop relational experiences that support, on a case-by-case basis, a shared plan of affections, with the objective of giving rise to creative movements of subjectivation, which problematize and transform that of reality, by invest in the collective power. Their syntheses reaffirm the lasting connection between researching and intervening, exploring connections between the method and the social commitment of Psychology, from a critical perspective.
