The Enigmas of Ground, introduction to semiological sociology.docx
The Enigmas of the Ground is a book that analyzes, proposes and discusses a novel theorization of the concept of ground in semiotics and its possibilities for the development of a semiotics of the everyday or of the experiences of elucidation, explanation, inference, meaning and significance of interpretive processes and understanding of signs, and of the relationships between signs and objects when these are diluted, disseminated and dynamically woven in the experiences of the world of daily life or the intramundane horizon, both of the solitary individual. in the universe of his soliloquy, as in intersubjective relations and communications, in symbolic, situational and social interactions, that is, in the hermeneusis and semiosis of culture. The book covers and discusses the dimensions of the ground between nature, culture and metaculture through a wide variety of examples of decoding, assignment of meanings and inferences in the everyday world, finding and theorizing the sign/object relationship as a dialectic of mutual origination at the level of the ground where the sign is not always in the place of the object but rather both confer their mutual identity and find a common source. The book extends its developments to the analysis and proposition of a theory about the preinterpreted character of experience and the world, focusing and elucidating how from the solitary reflective soliloquy of the subject, to the intersubjective elucidations and the analysis of extrinsic interactive social situations, the interpretive and hermeneutic processes participate in the very ontology of the experience and the phenomenological sense of the world both for subjectivity and for practice through the relationship of interpretations. current with preinterpretations where the heritage plays a determining place in the processes of inference and decoding. Analyzing the notion of sign outside the usual parameters of sign centrism, on the one hand a return of semiotics to philosophy and logic is developed, while at the same time it is incorporated into the hermeneusis and semiosis of culture in a phenomenological sociological sense, maintaining that there is a sign where there is inference, just as there is text where there is reading. A dialectic of mutual origin or common source between sign and object justifies the development of a reflexivity on the relations between dialectic and origin or identity of concepts and the very notion of origin, while discussing not only how the heritage participates in the decoding processes, but also, in what new metatheoretical and methodological perspectives it is required to understand sociology in relation to these developments, thus theorizing an introduction to semiological sociology where the parameters of Objectivity and subjectivity must work through continuous triadic adaptations between ideal types, empirical examples in the intramundane horizon and questions of social sciences and participant observation, concluding with a chapter on the appropriate balance between subjectivity and objectivity in the study of material culture. The chapters of the book are thus the first, The Enigmas of the ground, the second. The preinterpreted Character of experience and the world. the third Dialectic and origins, the fourth Heritage and Codification, the fifth Triadic Adequacy. The sixth The Holism of connotation to conclude with the seventh Indexical Readings: Subjectivity and objectivity in social sciences. The book is completely written, composed, complexed and concluded. <i> </i> <br>
