This book examines the theoretical developments in the field of
Action Research from a historical perspective. The central focus of
the investigation is the concepts of democracy and subjectivity as
defined by the field’s various traditions. To address this
issue, this book offers a thorough investigation of the theoretical
and historical underpinnings of Action Research in order to argue
that such a clarification allows for a transcendence of the
distinction between theory and practice in political action. This
transcendence will be achieved with the theories of the German
critical psychologist Klaus Holzkamp and his interpretation of
subjectivity and democracy. Holzkamp establishes a comprehensive
mode of change based on the contradiction of existing possibilities
for action and restrictions in a concretely given empirical
situation. This book is aimed at History of Psychology Classes,
Social Workers, Activism Researchers, Undergraduate Courses in
Critical Thinking and Political Action, and Decolonial Theory in
Psychology.
