Abstract
Challenged to think about how whiteness is a category of analysis for social psychology, two white researchers take the following research question as the trigger: How whiteness is constituted as a mode of subjectivation? In order to displace any supposed neutrality and universality, still present in the field of social psychology, the aim of the study was to produce visibility effects in contemporary racist subjectivation processes. The cartographic journey was driven by the use of the production of poetic narratives, based on the researchers' experiences from a racialized place. This methodological strategy sought to problematize the whiteness engendered by subjectivation technologies. In the end, the study highlights the universality, invisibility, and narcissistic pacts between the dimensions of racism, which signal the urgency of reflecting on these positions for the invention of anti-racist practices to form the future of psychology.
