Viaje al centro de la psicología de las multitudes

Abstract

As a classic, crowd psychology has been the primary reference to social psychology. From its erudite or colloquial description, stories and images about its sighting, irruption or dissolution unfolded. As a journey on the common ideas about it refers to the daily scenarios where they were initially located, and then recognizes the consequences of their stay in these; their deformation, as well as the excesses of their representation. Finally, it outlines a way out, suggests a disciplinary crossover, a friendly attitude to their presence, which renews the relevance of this approach in contemporary times. It will be the psychology of the crowds that will personify the latent conflict, of the manipulated information, of the apathy in questioning or intervening in the face of the excesses committed. In the face of this, the psychology of the crowds is rewritten, and the crowd is reinvented.
