Our goal is to discuss the history of creating new objects in the field of brazilian social Psychology, particularly the processes of urbanization, globalization, computerization of society and its interfaces with subjectification processes. This discussion is the result of a research done on the abstracts of the Proceedings of the Symposium of the National Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Psychology (Anais dos Simpósios da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Psicologia - ANPEPP), covering the period 1988-2010. Our methodology proposes a genealogy of Brazilian social Psychology. We use the Foucauldian perspective on history, knowledge and subjectiveness as theoretical and analytical tools. From this analysis, we affirm the possibility of a history of Brazilian social Psychology that is not written by its great representatives or theoretical aspects, but by establishing new problems, objects and fields of intervention. In this sense, we seek to accompany the formation of its multiple objects and perspectives, not pointing out the non-linearity of its development, but its controversies and ruptures.
