Autism and Cultural Mediation: Contributions of Angel Rivière in Light of Historical-Cultural Psychology

This project investigates the theoretical contributions of Ángel Rivière (1949-2000) to the understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in light of Historical-Cultural Psychology (HCP), through an integrative systematic review focused on the critical analysis of his works, with emphasis on the axes of cultural mediation, higher psychological functions, and critiques of biomedical reductionism. Following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, Rivière's works and secondary studies will be analyzed in databases such as Scopus, SciELO, and CAPES, using the PICo framework (Population: autistic individuals; Phenomenon of Interest: cultural mediation; Context: HCP). Screening and data organization will be carried out using Rayyan software to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Based on the proposed systematic review, it is expected that the research will highlight how Ángel Rivière's contributions, grounded in Historical-Cultural Psychology, can guide more inclusive and effective educational practices for autistic individuals, offering theoretical and methodological support to overcome reductionist views and to develop cultural mediation strategies adapted to the singularities of the autism spectrum.
