We invite you to the launch of Psychology of Art, by Lev Vigotsky, in its latest direct translation from Russian by Priscila Marques.

During the event, the translator presented the translation process and discussed the relevance of this work for understanding Vigotsky's thought in its origins.

Psychology of Art is a fundamental text for understanding how the author articulates aesthetics, emotion, and consciousness in the formation of human subjectivity.

About the translator: Priscila Marques is a professor of Russian at the Faculty of Letters of UFRJ. She holds a Master's and Doctorate in Russian Literature and Culture from FFLCH-USP.

Instructors: Jacqueline Meireles, Marcelo Dalla Vecchia, Matilde Agero Batista

The workshop aimed to present the perspective of Historical-Cultural Psychology (HCP) through film analysis. The selected film was screened, followed by analyses by the LAPSIHC instructors based on their respective areas: education, community, and work.

Historical-Cultural Psychology originated in the Soviet Union through the studies of Lev Vigotsky, Alexei Leontiev, and Alexander Luria. These authors sought to develop a "General Psychology" capable of grounding the psychologist's work in different contexts.

The LAPSIHC Seminar Cycle 2026.1 was an open event broadcast on the laboratory's YouTube channel, integrated with the elective course "Introduction to Historical-Cultural Psychology."
