Florilegios y notas de estudio (II). Mead, G. H. (1962): Mind, Self and Society. From the Standpoint of a Social behaviorist. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press.

[Quisiera compartirles citas intercaladas con notas de estudio sobre algunos textos que he analizado en mis jornadas de lectura e investigación. Estas citas y notas provienen de mis ficheros de estudio, aquí no están organizadas sistemáticamente por conceptos, empresa que sólo podría emprender con determinados autores que he de estudiar más detenida y sistemáticamente. Algunos textos o temas específicos han sido diagramados y analizados también en mapas mentales o cuadros sinópticos, los cuales agregaré en el caso de haberlos realizado o también los compartiré en entradas posteriores. El fin básico que me propongo es compartir y socializar estos pasajes y horizontes de análisis, más allá de mis cuadernos de notas físicos y virtuales. Un abrazo. JL].




Mead, G. H. (1962): Mind, Self and Society. From the Standpoint of a Social behaviorist.  Chicago: The University of Chicago Press.
  • "Language is part of social behavior" (1962: 13).
  • "One thinks, but one thinks in terms of language" (1962: 3).
  • "Psychology became in turn associational, motor, functional, and finally behavioristic" (1962: 21).
  • "A behavioristic psychology represents a definite tendency rather than a system, a tendency to state as fas as posible the conditions under which the experience of the individual arises. Correlation gets its expression in parallelism" (1962: 38). 
  • "Psychology is not something that deals with consciousness; psychology deals with the experience of the individual in its relation to the conditions under which experience goes on. It is social psychology where the conditions are social ones. It is behavioristic where the approach to experience is made through conduct" (1962: 41). 
  • "The vocal gesture becomes a significant symbol (unimportant, as such, on the merely effective side of experience) when it has the same effect on the individual making it that it has on the individual to whom it is addressed or who explicitly responds to it, and thus involves a reference to the self of the individual making it" (1962: 46). 
  • "The body is not a self, as such; it becomes a self only when it has developed a mind within the context of social experience. [...] Mind arises through communication by a conversation of gestures in a social process or context of experience- not communication through mind" (Mead, 1962: 50).
