Abstract
This article examines readings and translations to Spanish of the work of Henri Wallon in Argentine from the perspective of Transnational History. The political trajectory of Wallon in France is reconstructed as well as the constitution of an intellectual and scientific circuit in anti-fascism, philo-Sovietism, and communism that promoted the circulation and edition of his work. Wallon’s characterization and use of his ideas by antifascist intellectuals, pedagogues close to communism and leftist psychiatrist critical of communism is analyzed. Finally, some remarks on historiographical issues are made so as to propose a transnational history of psychology in Latin America.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
