Abstract

The visit of Professor Pablo del Rio to Brazil is primarily linked to research projects that approach human development in cultural-historical perspective. Two research seminars are planned: a first one, for presentation and discussion of results of recently concluded or in progress research projects (specifications attached); a second one, for presentation and discussion of the visiting professor proposal: "Human Development and Cultural Design: from ecopsychology to Cultural Neuropsychology" (proposal attached). These seminars will be related to a course offered at FE, Unicamp graduate program. The seminars triggering idea is the vygotskian proposal at "The Genesis of higher mental functions: the human development in history and culture". It is also planned within this short visit a colloquium related to the publishing of a book (volume 3rd, Series of Human Development and Cultural Practices, Ed.
