Description
Summary:In order to characterize the relation between Latin-American historical research in psychology and other meta-sciences, we analyze the reception of the 'new historiography of science' and of the sociology of knowledge in an exemplar of regional relevance in regards to psychological historiography: the published work of Alberto Vilanova. A descriptive, expost facto study was carried out, with quantitative and qualitative phases. Each of the documents that comprise the complete, published papers by Vilanova (n = 64) were retrieved and subjected to a content analysis. No extensive citations to sociologists or philosophers of psychology were found in the sample, although a conceptualization of past and contemporary science as a social collective enterprise was found in most sources.
