Chapter in Ebook: Indigenous Protagonism in Promoting Dialogues with the University and the Struggle for Traditional Territory

The book “Community, Territory, and Rooting: An Introduction to Latin American Community and Environmental Psychology,” published by CRV  and authored by Bernardo Parodi Svartman and Gustavo Martineli Massola, seeks to establish a dialogue and connections between the spheres of community social psychology and environmental psychology in Latin America. The authors begin with a comprehensive introduction to these disciplines to underpin this reflection. Additionally, they highlight some research fields and areas of practice, explaining why they are relevant to both disciplines.

The fourth chapter, “Indigenous Protagonism in Promoting Dialogues with the University and the Struggle for Traditional Territory,” authored by Patrícia Moura Fernandes Silva, Rafaela Waddington Achatz, and Danilo Silva Guimarães, addresses the role of the Indigenous People’s Attention Network (IPUSP-PSE) service. It explores both its scope and limitations in contributing to addressing psychosocial vulnerabilities affecting indigenous communities. The development of this chapter and the projects of the Network are grounded in theoretical and methodological dialogue, widely discussed in the context of Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism in Psychology. These projects and the present text result from collaboration in developing initiatives between indigenous and non-indigenous members.
