Social thinking: history of mentalities, collective memory and social representations

Abstract

The small text written by Amílcar Carpio Pérez and by Jorge Mendoza García (historian and social psychologist, specifically) is suggestive from the title because it sounds so bombastic that it makes you want to open the book to see what is called social thought, about all in a historical moment in which the individual prevails over the social and in which, thanks to the more or less coarse ideology of the all-powerful individual, it is assumed that the only thought that exists is the one that each person brings inside their tiny skull. You can see the increase in research that talks about the particles of reality, what is suggested and addressed in this notebook are, different ways of being able to think and understand the world in which we find ourselves through, rhythms, cadences , latencies and speeds of the processes that occur.
