Abstract
The aim of this work is to promote a conceptual and methodological dialogue between the socioconstructivism perspective and the point of view of the psychodynamic theory of the unconscious. The authors recognize that at the moment there is a lack of communication between socioconstructivism and the theory of the unconscious, resulting first of all from the theoretical core of traditional dynamic psychology and psychoanalysis, that has raised and developed as an individualistic model. All the same, a significant part of the contemporary psychodynamic theory has deeply changed. It shares with socioconstructivism the common contextual epistemology wich focuses on the relationship between individuals and context, as well as the mediation that discourse and semiotic devices exercise within this relationship. Four different models of relationship between the two theoretical field are presented. In conclusion the authors highlight opportunities of theoretical and methodological development suggest that encounters between socioconstructivism and psychology of the unconscious can take place and have productive results.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
