Resumo: For centuries, philosophers have been fascinated by the idea of a mind detached from the body. In the Phaedo, Plato envisioned the soul as the pinnacle of intellect free from its mortal shell. Centuries later, Descartes crystallized this dualistic obsession in his famous declaration “I think, therefore I am”, defining thought as the very essence of being, independent of the physical body. In the twentieth century, this ancient longing for disembodied thinking found new scientific expression in the cognitive revolution of the 1950s. As George A. Miller observed in his 2003 paper in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, this revolution “restored cognition to scientific respectability,” forging an interdisciplinary foundation that unified fields like psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, computer science, anthropology, and philosophy. By proposing that computational processes could simulate human cognition, it laid the groundwork for modern artificial intelligence (AI). Today’s large language models, like ChatGPT, stand as the latest culmination of humanity’s centuries-long quest for disembodied thought.

Resumo: Our paper aims to provide a short guide on how community psychologists can contribute to the improvement of rural young people's prospects. After briefly introducing the demographic trends of these young people in continental Europe for the past decade, we list the current challenges faced by rural European young generations, as well as the opportunities emerging for them from the twin transition that can inspire the community psychology field. We then contextualize community psychologists' interventions in this domain according to an ecological-systemic standpoint and by embracing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) perspective on research and practice. We further detail the reasons for adopting a PAR approach in research and practice to address rural young people's challenges and opportunities. Finally, we highlight four potential intermediation missions to uphold community psychologists' rural youth development input, based on the adopted theoretical and methodological standpoint. We conclude that our short guide can facilitate community psychology professionals' complete understanding of rural young generations' prospects, in line with the expected increase in the need for rural young people's participation. Our proposal may also have long-term benefits for rural communities by contributing to the redesigning of intergenerational relationships and securing critical mass.

Resumo: In their insightful and challenging commentaries, Potter, Augoustinos, and Jovchelovitch interestingly contributed to the debate we sought to promote. They allowed us to further reflect on our proposal of bringing together some strands of theory of social representations and discursive psychology for forging a stronger social psychology, that is, one more prepared to understand social change by better comprehending how meaning is constructed and transformed in discourse and communication. Through the present commentary, we attempt to better clarify this proposal in dialogue with their observations. Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10071/18140 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
