Articulating liberation psychologies of culture.

In conceptualizing culture as a kind of adjunctive that is to be conquered, managed, and/or comprehensively outlined, psychologists have, for the most part, done little to harness culture’s emancipatory capacities. In this article, I attempt to delineate how we might begin to articulate psychologies that are able to activate radical, collective, and materialist conceptions of, and approaches to, culture. Psychologies of this kind, referred to here as liberation psychologies of culture, lie at an intersection of critical cultural studies, psychologies of culture, and liberation psychology. Three pathways through which to enact liberation psychologies of culture are developed, namely, cultural re-membering, cross-cultural anamnesis, and radical political culture. Read together, these pathways provide us with nascent, politicized, and reflexive ways by which to unlock, reprogram, dismiss, resist, contest, recover, interrogate, redeem, and coconstruct issues of culture within broader struggles for psycho-social liberation.
