DECOLONIZING THE CONCEPT OF RECOGNITION (ME-YOU)

Abstract

The present study is a critical analysis about the theoretical and practical application of Psychodrama. It proposes new elaborations by rethinking concepts and praxis of socionomy that contribute to its main theme: inclusion. Therefore, the urgency of deconstructing the universal man — cisgender, heterosexual, white, Christian — in the psychodramatic movement is presented, so that every person can go through the phases of self and other recognition in a genuine way, without the whiteness colonizing imposed traps, which produces and reproduces a white reality of expectations and ideals that favors the maintenance of its privileges.
