| Abstract | |
In this research, a psycho-social exam about militant students political participation is made, using their testimonies in semi-guided interviews analysed qualitatively. This investigation was methodologically oriented by Ecléa Bosi, José Moura Gonçalves Filho and Maria Isaura Pereira de Queirós. Two student militants who were engaged in politics during the 80s and the beginning of the 90s in the University of São Paulo Psychology Institute were interviewed. Among the discussed issues, some stand out: what motivated towards politics; the importance of political agents and social events as an invitation to politics; the relation between the invitation to politics and the emerging of their interest to study; the characteristics of the most enthusiastic and exciting political episodes remembered by them; the strong disputes between students groups; the strict hierarchy between the student militants and the distance established between activist and non-activist; the bureaucracy of institutions and political parties; and last but not least the convergences and divergences between psychology and politics. These are themes this research attempted to face from the declarations. Confronting the memories and discussion of the interviewed people with those of the researcher himself as well as with author who study the theme, this work attempts to enrich the psycho-social study of student political militancy.
