Abstract

ABSTRACT In the panorama of gesture theories, the contribution of relational sociology based on critical realism is underdeveloped. This contribution seeks to fill the deficit by considering Giovanni Maddalena's theory on the ‘complete gesture’. On the one hand, this theory is appreciated as a significant step forward from classical pragmatism. On the other hand, since theories based essentially on phenomenology and semiotics are at risk of nominalism, if we want to understand the gesture from a critical realistic perspective, we need to complement the theory of gesture with a relational social ontology. This means that the theory of the gesture as action (unit act) must be placed within an ontological and epistemological framework, in which Peirce’s triangle is related to the latent value of the real as indicated by the sign. A relational alternative to Peirce's semiotic triangle is presented here with the aim of connecting the sign of the gesture to the underlying reality.
对手势的批判现实主义观点
在姿态理论的全景中,基于批判现实主义的关系社会学的贡献是不充分的。这一贡献试图通过考虑Giovanni Maddalena关于“完整手势”的理论来填补这一缺陷。一方面,这一理论被认为是超越古典实用主义的重要一步。另一方面,由于本质上基于现象学和符号学的理论面临唯名论的风险,如果我们想从批判现实主义的角度理解手势,我们需要用关系社会本体论来补充手势理论。这意味着,作为行动(单位行为)的手势理论必须置于本体论和认识论框架中,在这个框架中,皮尔斯的三角形与符号所表明的现实的潜在价值有关。本文提出了一种与皮尔斯的符号学三角相对应的替代方法,旨在将手势的符号与潜在的现实联系起来。

期刊介绍: International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
