Abstract
CASTRO TEJERINA, Jorge. Foundational Psychological Clues of Citizenry Self-Government: the "Psychology of the Spanish People" as a Case Study (1902-1918). Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.spe5, pp.1739-1753. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy13-5.cpfa.
At the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th, the psychological configuration of the liberal concept of self-government was basic to design the political subject of the modernity and the very idea of "citizenship". Our paper studies this socio-historical process throughout the first works devoted to the "Psychology of the Spanish People". The analysis not only confirm the close relation between psychology and citizenship, but the role played by the psychology in the transition from the traditional theories and practices of the subjectivity to the modern ones -particularly in the fields of religion and education. The socio-political limits imposed by the liberal program on the potential citizen participation of the Spanish population are also revealed.
Keywords : psychology of citizenship; self-government; psychology of the Spanish People; theories and practices of subjectivity.
