Da alma para o corpo e do corpo para o cérebro: os rumos da psicologia com as neurociências

Abstract

This study examines the course of Psychology and Neuroscience considering the centrality of the discourse of the brain in contemporary. Supported by the archaeological and genealogical thought of Michel Foucault, it tries to visualize the relationships between these two fields of knowledge from mapping an apparatus of the brain. There is the convergence of two lines of analysis throughout this thesis: the disciplinarization of Psychology and problematization of subjectivity. The first line seeks to map the conditions of emergency for the formation of a scientific Psychology, understanding that it has been maintained on the discourses of clinic and interiority. This map followed mainly the practice of interiorization and exteriorization of subjectivity, which made possible to delineate the displacement in the vectors of clinic and interiority which articulates Psychology as a scientific field. The second line, intended to map processes of subjectivation and thus interrogate the idea of a theory of the subject. Moreover, the lines that made up the internal and external processes of subjectivation are a field for the emergence of what I would call extended subjectivity. The practices of extension of subjectivity, as a new territory of constitution of self-knowledge of the subject, also finds a converging field with Social Psychology.
