Abstract

This text was presented as an erudition examination in a contest for full professor of Social Psychology held at the University of São Paulo in November 2018. In the text, I attempt to denote my responsibility as a professor of Social Psychology at a public university of excellence in contemporary Brazil. I also report my understanding of Social Psychology as a field in which thought, speech and action, theory and practice, are inextricably related. Psychoanalysis is presented as a hermeneutic tool that collaborates with the elucidation of psychosocial phenomena. Texts by Freud and Benjamin, and poems by Carlos Drummond de Andrade help set up Social Psychology as a field of work with memory, meaning and repair.
