“…This represents the capacity of newcomers to reconstruct themselves in new contexts according to their interests, values and needs. Consequently, acculturative integration implies a self-construction process linked to the capacity of human beings to (a) create meaning and sense, and to act with intentionality; (b) show reflexivity, or the capacity of thinking of oneself and society as a whole; and (c) maintain one's culture, which provides a symbolic system necessary to make sense of new encounters (De la Mata and Cubero 2003).…”

This paper describes an acculturative integration approach that stresses the contribution of liberation psychology. Immigrant integration is a challenge for receiving countries in the Western world due to the frequent asymmetrical and oppressive conditions suffered by newcomers in their new settlements. The cross-cultural perspective connects integration with psychological acculturation, emphasizing harmony between acquisitions of the new culture while maintaining cultural heritage, and creating opportunities for intergroup relationships. In turn, liberation psychology permits an understanding of the acculturative transition as an empowerment and self-construction process by which immigrants acquire a new vision of the world and of themselves, transforming both structural conditions and themselves. From this perspective we conceptualize acculturative integration as the process by which newcomers become an accepted part of the new society through a reflexive and evaluative process, changing their social references and position, rebuilding their social and personal resources, and achieving a new agency in coherence with their new challenges and goals. In this process, they acquire critical thinking about unequal conditions, gain capacities to respond to the inequalities, and take effective actions to confront them. We illustrate this process using the narratives of nine Moroccan women who are living in asymmetrical and oppressive local contexts in Andalusia, the southern-most region of Spain.

“…In all cases, what defines the conceptual category of practice is the fact that actions are socially developed. The social dimension of practice and actions refers to the technologies or tools that must be used, to the knowledge that is used and shared and to the goals the participants recognize and pursue (Cole, 1996;De la Mata & Cubero, 2003;Valsiner, 2014a).…”

Several prominent scholars in the Social Sciences have defended the need for a new way of studying the relationship between culture and the individual. Over the last three decades, it has been common to find studies under the heading of Cultural Psychology (CP), which have focussed on the role of culture in historical and ontogenetic development. However, among the defenders of CP, there have been specific disagreements over theoretical and methodological aspects of the project. This lack of agreement is revealed by the different conceptions of the role of meaning and social practice in human psychological functioning. This paper aims is to analyze some different approaches to CP, and the role of meaning plays in its constitution. For us, the central claim of CP is that the human mind should be seen as inter-penetrated by intentional worlds that are culturally and historically situated, and this psychology must to study the ways psyche and culture; person and context, self and other, practitioner and practice live together, and jointly make each other up. In addition, CP has also identified the symbolic mediation of mind and culture as its analytical focus. Finally, we defend that culture and mind are to be treated as forms of culturally differentiated meaning practices. To make possible this enterprise, we propose the necessity to develop the notion of mediated and situated actions as a unit of analysis of Cultural Psychology.

“…Esto no significa, sin embargo, una relación basada en el determinismo psíquico de la cultura, sino en una construcción dinámica y dialéctica con una acción transformadora en ambos sentidos. El enunciado es compartido por varios autores como Overton (citado en de la Mata y Cubero, 2003), para quien la cultura y la psiquis son fenómenos indiferenciables.…”

El presente trabajo es resultado de la investigación transdisciplinaria entre la antropología y la psicología con una base gnoseológica, fundamentada en las epistemologías del sur, y con el enfoque metodológico de la investigación-acción participativa (IAP). El objetivo fundamental es brindar una comprensión interpretativa del mito de origen del pueblo Chachi a partir del análisis discursivo, con un sentido explicativo sobre los significantes simbólicos. El análisis incluye factores históricos y culturales para lo cual se utilizan conceptos y enfoques tanto de la psicología como de la antropología para proponer una transversalidad teórica que abarca el ámbito metodológico. Las conclusiones hacen referencia a la articulación transdisciplinar como postura a través de la cual se explican relaciones causales en torno al mito de origen y los procesos históricos vividos por el pueblo chachi.
