Preliminaries to a Social-Semiotic Model of Communicative Action

Journal Title: Postmodern Openings - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to bring contributions to the elaboration of a social-semiotic model of social constructionism, which will make a synthesis between the theory of communicative action and the theories of social-constructionist semiotic model, based on the postulation of a social universe in a network of communicative interdependencies developed on levels of reality. The interpretative model we propose comes to conceptualize the particularities of the sociological analysis of the transmodern society, seen as a knowledge-based society, placed at the interference with the postmodern society; that of generalized permissiveness. The model proposed aims at a constructionist-fractalic analysis (of deconstruction-reconstruction type) of the interpretative drift of social constructs, under the empire of different constructive instances.
