Resumen
ESTRADA-MESA, ANGELA MARÍA. Critical-interpretative Resources for Social Psychology. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.2, pp.261-270. ISSN 0121-5469.
The article describes a form of qualitative research (with a capital "Q") that feeds a critical-hermeneutic paradigm in contemporary psychosocial thinking and that has been cultivated by social psychology. It also describes some sources that nourish such paradigm, mainly hermeneutics, social constructionism, and discourse theory. Additionally, it develops some of the criticisms of this paradigm to the empirical-analytical tradition in psychosocial sciences: the objectivity as correspondence, the value-free character of knowledge, the universality of knowledge, and the causal explanation. It also shows the existing incommensurability relationship among different scientific paradigms, to finally expose the interdisciplinary critical-hermeneutic approach developed by the Critical Social Psychology Group, which develops and applies the eclectic proposal discourse analysis of Wetherell.
