The History of Social Psychology in the Perspective of the Student Who did not Make the “Task of Always”

Abstract

In this article, we narrate Social Psychology history from a student’s perspective, based in the meanings that were produced in Social Psychology lectures at the State University of Londrina (Brazil). Lucas Paolino, the first author of this text, wrote an essay in an original way, using humor and a literary style to discuss some theoretical and historical aspects in the understanding of Social Psychology and its history. We aim to present this original way of telling the history of social psychology, keeping the creative narrative of the text and being coherent with this theme. We suggest that humor, as well as the literary expression of this essay, can facilitate the understanding of theoretical and historical contents in the context of teaching Social Psychology, in order to stimulate the pupils to think the psychological universe with its theoretical and methodological diversity, always stimulating critical reflection, dialogue and fidgety.
