Reflections and report about the Colonial Collapse and the Hope for a Psychology of Good Living

Abstract

This text is the result of a conference presented at the VII Northern Regional Meeting of ABRAPSO, which took place in June 2023, in Santarém/Alter do Chão (Pará). It is about the senses and experiences of a black, homoaffective, Amazonian and autistic person who felt the impact of the multiple systems of corrosion of life that the colonial humanitarian split produced. The language in the text is a form of transgression made in the insurgency of those who live outside in the modern colonial world and establish other ways of relating to words and their narrative constructions. Under decolonial considerations, themes such as colonial humanity, exploration of Nature and the possibilities of a Psychology of Good Living are approached from a phenomenological perspective.
