WALTER BENJAMIN AND THE CONSTELLATION METHOD OF THOUGHT: A RESEARCH PROPOSITION IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

This article aims to present a research methodology inspired by Walter Benjamin which, in the scenario of the war on drugs and marked by prohibitionism, allowed the production of other narratives about the use of illicit drugs different from the hegemonic and "official" ones. In order to problematize the phenomenon of illicit drug use in a society marked by prohibitionism and to present a perspective of production of subjectivation imbricated with the historical, political and social, our method of analysis/construction of narratives was guided by a constellation movement of thought, from a decolonial perspective, when looking at the phenomenon of drug use in a South American context. Thus, this article will explore a theoretical construction on the constellation method and present a narrative built from this research methodology in social psychology.
