Psiconology: The Study of Images Produced by Psychology in Light of Mitchell’s Iconology

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

In Psychology, the pictorial phenomenon has traditionally been debated in the fields of art psychology and psychology of images. We added to the discussion Mitchell’s Iconology, centred on the discursive study of images. We worked with research projects in psychology found in the CAPES (Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education) Evaluation of 2012 dealing with pictorial phenomenon. From the abstracts of these projects, we extracted six thematic units-image-mind, image-representation, image-stimulus, image-record, image-expression, image-production-defined by specific iconological associations. From the latter, image-production, we identified a field worthy of specific research: the debate about pictorial production within the very field of psychology, significant today because of the increasing use of visual methods and something which we called psiconology.
