Historical perspective of the Psychology of motivation

The psychology of motivation has a long tradition and history in psychology. In fact, we consider that, to a certain extent, understanding the history of the psychology of motivation is understanding great part of which has been psychology itself, since the main target of psychology was, and is, to try to explain behaviour, and the aim of psychology of motivation is to find out the causes of behaviour. In its long passage to the present time, there have been three perspectives that have monopolized most of the investigation: the biological, the behavioural and the cognitive. They are not excluding. Each one of them has been predominant in certain stages, although the same attention was paid to the other two. Nowadays, the biological and cognitive perspectives are those that receive greater attention from the investigators. The historical direction in the study of the psychology of motivation represents an important solution to know how the events that have given rise to the present consideration about the psychology of motivation were forged. To know the past helps us to understand the present, at the same time it allows us to hypothesise with great probability of success which will be the future in the study object.

La influencia de la construcción de identidad cultural vietnamita en la guerra de independencia de Vietnam (1946-1954)

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo explicar la influencia de la construcción de identidad cultural vietnamita en la Guerra de Independencia de Vietnam entre 1946 y 1954. Se argumenta que la construcción de identidad cultural justificó, promovió y legitimó la guerra de independencia como instrumento político ya que –en tanto proceso relacional– generó durante la colonización francesa prácticas de diferenciación fundamentadas en la reivindicación de los valores, tradiciones, costumbres, creencias y símbolos vietnamitas en torno a la resistencia. Ello propició una ruptura en las relaciones políticas imperantes, lo que condujo a la búsqueda de un nuevo orden social basado en la autodeterminación. Se utiliza una metodología de tipo cualitativa, fundamentada en el análisis documental e historiográfico.

Santa Bárbara, el barrio que no soportó las tempestades: el olvido y la demolición del patrimonio arquitectónico en la construcción del relato histórico de Bogotá entre 1980 y 1983

Esta investigación analiza la construcción del límite sur de la zona patrimonial de Bogotá de los años 80, a partir de dos procesos simultáneos: la demolición de un sector del barrio Santa Bárbara y la patrimonialización de La Candelaria. A pesar de que estos dos sectores de la ciudad hicieron parte de la ciudad antigua y compartieron un origen común, solo La Candelaria logró hacer parte de la zona considerada de valor histórico. Por lo tanto, este proyecto de grado se interesa, principalmente, por conocer por qué el barrio Santa Bárbara fue excluido del relato histórico de la ciudad, a partir del estudio de la discusión sobre su valor histórico que dio paso al uso público del pasado y a una “lucha por la memoria”, en palabras de Elizabeth Jelin.
