Los enigmas del Ground: introducción a la sociología semiológica es un libro autoral de Abdel Hernández San Juan donde el autor teoriza y discute un retorno de la teoría semiótica a filosofía y la lógica, explora, propone y desarrolla una reteorización desde esa perspectiva de la sociología en sentido fenomenológico, a la vez que de la semiótica desde la perspectiva de la experiencia, la subjetividad y la teorización cultural desarrollando nuevas vías interdisciplinarias para la relación entre ciencias del lenguaje, microsociología y antropología cultural

When in the summer of 2022, Abdel Hernandez shared with me a digitized copy in a Word document of one of his last four most important books, I was absolutely convinced, even without having read a single line of the text, that I was faced with a book of crucial character. for the field of phenomenological reflection of the 21st century. This prologue was the result of that reading after exchanging reflections throughout an extensive conversation lasting for a year in which I proposed to Abdel the publication of El correlato de mundo, the title with which the author summarized the essential thesis. from his book. 1) The genesis of a world: its beginnings. Cuban academic and philosophical thought of the second half of the 20th century (Lourdes Rensoli, Jorge

Cuando en el verano de 2022, Abdel Hernández me compartió una copia digitalizada en documento Word de uno de sus últimos cuatro más importantes libros, estaba absolutamente convencido, aún sin haber leído una sola línea del texto, que me enfrentaba a un libro de carácter crucial para el ámbito de la reflexión fenomenológica del siglo XXI. Este prólogo fue el resultado de esa lectura luego de intercambiar reflexiones a lo largo de una extensa conversación prolongada por espacio de un año en la que le propuse a Abdel la publicación de El correlato de mundo, titulo con el que el autor resumía la tesis esencial de su libro. 1) La génesis de un mundo: sus inicios.

This is a 2016 draft of an essay that was to be published in 2018 in Kaye V Cook ed Faith in a Pluralist Age Cascade Books. The book was the publication of a symposium that considered the essay of Peter L Berger (1929-2017) the title of which became the title of the book. My essay discussed how I first came across Berger's sociological contribution in the late 1960s as an undergraduate student studying sociology. Berger's work was framed by his appreciation for the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schütz although it may more accurately have been defined as a sociological phenomenology. My essay takes issue with Berger's a priori exclusion of the possibility of a "Christian sociology" and the presumption that meaning is the creation of human action. My discussion seeks to follow in the theoretical direction articulated by Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) by an emphasis upon a sharp a sharp distinction between theoretical judgements and the supra-theoretical pre-scientific assumptions that alone make the former possible. Moreover such an outlook also opens up the possibility of ongoing critical exchange with all streams of sociological reflection, including Berger's own significant contribution to scholarship that seeks to affirm the social construction of reality.

La obra es fruto de la colaboración entre ambos, y del amplio diálogo que llevan estableciendo estos últimos años: Spätmoderne in der Krise: Was leistet die Gesellschafts theorie? (Berlín: Suhrkamp, 2021). Ni la traducción inglesa (Late Modernity in Crisis:  Why We Need a Theory of Society) ni la española, que tenemos entre manos, se decantan
por una traducción literal del subtítulo (¿Qué consigue la teoría social?), aunque sí captan aspectos significativos del contenido de la obra.

This article of reflection on knowledge arises from the academic experience acquired in the subjects of Research I and II, taught in the Sociology programme at the Universidad Popular del Cesar. This work synthesises and analyses the learning obtained in these subjects, with the aim of deepening the understanding of the various typologies and approaches to knowledge, as well as its role within the social and academic context. Objectives: To analyse the historical evolution of knowledge, its various typologies and its social construction, with special emphasis on the theory of the social construction of reality proposed by Berger and Luckmann. Method: The methodology used in this text falls within the parameters of the interpretative paradigm and resorts to the hermeneutic method to understand and interpret the arguments presented by various authors in relation to the category of knowledge. Results: The analysis of the typologies of knowledge shows an evolution deeply influenced by the interaction between social needs and historical contexts. From empirical knowledge in ancient societies to the consolidation of scientific knowledge in modernity, each type has responded to the specific demands and priorities of its time. In the current context, we observe an even greater diversification of knowledge, driven by factors such as technology and globalisation, which have given rise to new forms of knowledge and different criteria for validation. According to Berger and Luckmann's (1986) theory of the social construction of reality, knowledge in all its dimensions is a construction that can only occur in a social context. Conclusions: The historical evolution of knowledge reveals that its different typologies have emerged in response to the specific demands and contexts of each era, reflecting the adaptability of knowledge to social priorities. According to Berger and Luckmann's (1986) theory of the social construction of reality, knowledge acquires meaning as a function of collective interactions and agreements, making it an intrinsically social phenomenon. Thus, types of knowledge such as empirical, scientific or philosophical knowledge not only fulfil particular functions within society, but are also legitimised and transmitted on the basis of shared practices and consensus, consolidating themselves as essential tools for interpreting reality and guiding human behaviour in different communities and generations.

Chung-Chi Yu's book is divided into 14 Chapters, centred on the thoughts of the authors whose names appear in the title (the last one, Bernhard Waldenfels, still an active German philosopher), but with several references to other authors belonging to the phenomenological tradition, such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Aron Gurwitch, and important authors in the field of the social sciences such as Max Weber. Most of the Chapters are devoted to a discussion of various aspects of Alfred Schutz's thought (Chapters 6 to 12); Chapters 1 to 4 are especially devoted to the thought of Edmund Husserl and the last two, 13 and 14, focus on Bernhard Waldenfels. However, Husserl is present in all of them, thanks, above all, to Chung-Chi Yu's use of the concept of "Life-World". This is probably the most popular Husserlian concept-despite the difficulties in defining it accurately, which has already given rise to several interpretations of its meaning-, especially because of the possibilities it offers of application in areas outside philosophy, namely, but not exclusively, in the social sciences. Life-World, however, is not the only phenomenological concept that is addressed and discussed in this book by Chung-Chi Yu. We could, among some others, mention the concept of "phenomenological reduction", particularly important if we want to establish the scientificity, in the Husserlian meaning of this term, of the concept of Life-World; that of "intersubjectivity", especially in the version of it presented by Husserl in the famous 5 th Cartesian Meditation, where he

The concept of lived experience plays a significant role in the social sciences in general and in philosophy in particular. The idea of lived experience as a social reality has been philosophized and given prime importance in the phenomenological tradition of philosophy. However, the work of Alfred Schutz, one of the phenomenologists on lived experience, has not been given adequate attention by either sociologists or philosophers. This paper attempts to understand how lived experiences are not merely individual or subjective experiences but are also collective or social. Firstly, it suggests that lived experiences need to be understood in a broader context, namely that of the social and inter-subjectivity, which can be found in the Philosophy of Alfred Schutz. Thus, there is an attempt to show how Schutz's philosophy broadly helps us understand lived experience as a social reality. Secondly, to justify how lived experiences are social and collective experiences, illustrations of the studies related to race, gender, and caste are given as a marker for lived experiences throughout the paper. So far, lived experience has been understood within the domain of individual or the subjective or merely in the first-person perspective. Hence, this paper provides some insights into investigating lived experience from the third-person perspective.

The impact of transnational influences in the making of postwar sociology in the United States is often acknowledged. However, phenomenology is rarely counted among these influences in spite of its apparently oversized impact on disciplinary development during a critical period of intellectual contention. This article sheds light on this process through an analysis of the impact and legacy of social phenomenologist and European intellectual migrant Alfred Schutz (1899-1959). After 1960, Schutz’s theoretical writings became a powerful resource for innovators and critics in the discipline. What is unexplained is the sudden rise to prominence of Schutzian phenomenology in theoretical and methodological debates in American sociology, and the way phenomenological insights became incorporated into the discipline. The article identifies three translational strategies employed by translator-agents in the incorporation of Schutzian phenomenology into American sociology. The article not only discusses the peculiar history of Schutz’s ideas, but also uses Schutz’s theoretical framework to develop the concept of translational work and demonstrate its relevance for the disciplinary assimilation of ideas across intellectual contexts.

Introduction: Death anxiety is one of the ultimate anxieties of humankind, which is caused by consciousness of mortality and inevitability of death. Considering the fact that knowledge of death and experience of death anxiety arise from childhood, the objective of this study was to explore the experiences of children with heart disease and cancer about death anxiety. Methods: This study was conducted qualitatively with a phenomenological approach. The participants were 15 children with cancer and congenital heart disease (CHD) at Ali Asghar (AS), Modarres, and Rasoul-e-Akram hospitals in Tehran in 2018, whose information was collected through semi-structured interviews. The participants were selected via purposive sampling and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi's method. Results: The analysis of the data led to the development of a main category called anxiety, which consists of six subcategories including imaginary manifestations of death, loneliness and nothingness, fear and a...

El padecimiento es un fenómeno que puede abordarse desde diversos enfoques. Uno de los más destacados es la fenomenología, la cual pretende acercarse a partir del conocimiento de la experiencia interpersonal. Sin embargo, Husserl, precursor de esta postura filosófica, no propone un método puntual para comprender cómo los fenómenos aparecen a la conciencia. Por su parte, Schütz, discípulo de Weber y Husserl, planteó una metodología para la construcción del pensamiento científico, también conocido como pensamiento de segundo grado, a partir de la profundización en el sentido común popular experimentado: “El mundo de la vida”. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre los aciertos, desaciertos y aprendizajes surgidos a partir del acercamiento, desde la fenomenología de Husserl y la metodología propuesta por Schütz, a una comunidad que padece enfermedad renal. Para ello se utilizan, como ejemplo, experiencias personales surgidas durante el desarrollo de la tesis doctoral de la a...

In the present paper, I analyze the complex relationship of tension between Critical Theory and phenomenology from a sociological-theoretical perspective. I start from two theses. The first one is that one of the primary reasons for the antagonism between these two paradigms lies in their ideal-typically opposed assessments of the role of 'meaning-adequacy' in social research. The second one is that in recent years, there has been a strong rapprochement of Critical Theory with (social) phenomenology. This shift, fundamentally embodied in Hartmut Rosa's work, can be understood as the culminating point of a progressive turn towards meaning-adequacy within the Frankfurt School. In order to unfold these two theses, I will proceed in three steps. First (1), I will present the main outlines of the relationship of tension between the two traditions from both a historico-intellectual and a systematic perspective. Second (2), I will focus on the contemporary readings of the Schutzian notion of 'meaning-adequacy' and discuss their value for better understanding the historical opposition between the two paradigms, as well as their recent rapprochement. Third (3), I will sketch the key features of Rosa's sociology of world-relations, understood as a phenomenological Critical Theory that shows a strong commitment to a radicalized version of the meaning-adequacy postulate.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate that Alfred Schütz's contribution to the social sciences is understandable only within the framework of his troubled relationship with Husserl's phenomenology. We will see how Schütz tries to take charge, to face and resolve a good part of the critical issues present in Husserl's work and, above all, to make a turning point in the field of investigation of phenomenology which will prove decisive for the human sciences as it will focus his attention on the question of intersubjectivity, considered no longer as a problem concerning only the phenomenological sphere but as a fundamental category of human existence. Therefore, we will try to show how Schütz's path assumes a considerable critical value as it contributes to raise the expectations of sociology and to strengthen the confidence of this discipline which tends to go beyond the narrow boundaries outlined by Husserl and to go in a direction diametrically opposite to "The Crisis of European sciences" outlined by the father of phenomenology, since Schütz provides stable and adequate bases for the social sciences that allow to analyze the fundamental structures that support the social world, and, in this way, at the same time, he manages to safeguard the basic nucleus of the phenomenological discipline, since, stripped of metaphysical lure and devoid of verbal and oracular enchantments, it is traced back to the Husserlian idea of rigorous science. From this point of view, Schütz's merit lies primarily in having made a critical revision of phenomenology, in having initiated a broad debate on the role of the social sciences, and in having provided the first ideas for the foundation of a phenomenologically oriented sociology.

This book offers a theoretical investigation into the general problem of reality as a multiplicity of 'finite provinces of meaning,' as developed in the work of Alfred Schutz. A critical introduction to Schutz's sociology of multiple realities as well as a sympathetic re-reading and reconstruction of his project, Experiencing Multiple Realities, traces the genesis and implications of this concept in Schutz's writings before presenting an analysis of the various ways in which it can shed light on major sociological problems, such as social action, social time, social space, identity, or narrativity. 4 Revisiting the provinces 4.1 Brief critique of the Schutzian model 67 4.2 The general FPM structure 70 4.3 The epochè of the natural attitude 73 4.4 Life-world resources 76 5 The life of the provinces 5.1 The universal projection 96 5.2 Connected realities 97 5.3 Morphology, constitution, and dynamics 107 6 Methods of experience 6.1 Behaviour, action, and experience 113 6.2 Biographical situation 115 7 Experience as discourse 7.1 Narrative tools 119 7.2 Paradigm and syntagm 122 8 Ancient FPM portals: painted screens Conclusion Index viii Contents

Husserl as a sociologist. The sociological turn of Husserl and the application of a phenomenological perspective in the social sciences. The article presents new aspects of the Husserlian phenomenology now evident in present day philosophical studies of Husserl that build on the later Husserl and publications in the Husserliana-series of his extant manuscripts. It argues that these studies demonstrate aspects of phenomenology far more interesting for the social sciences than what has been realised until now. In these writings Husserl thoroughly discusses the lifeworld and intersubjective conditions for knowledge and they show clearly that Husserl no longer can be regarded as a methodological solipsist, but as a true social philosopher and so cial constructivist. Several common misapprehensions of Husserl in much so ciological theory may now be addressed. The main challenge for sociologists lies in applying this phenomenological perspective in empirical studies in re lation to questi...

En este trabajo presentamos algunas reflexiones sobre la interacción de niños preescolares (entre 3 y 5 años) con objetos productores de sonido. Implementamos el enfoque fenomenológico de Alfred Schutz, quien bajo la influencia de Edmund Husserl elaboró sus propias nociones sobre Lebenswelt o mundo de la vida. Presentamos algunas situaciones de interacción con instrumentos musicales por parte de niños que han sido documentadas en diferentes investigaciones sobre educación musical en la primera infancia, las mismas que utilizamos para ejemplificar posibles análisis desde la perspectiva de la fenomenología del mundo social. Concluimos con algunas observaciones que conciben la teoría de Schutz como una perspectiva relevante para el análisis de las experiencias de los niños con objetos productores de sonido.


We present some situations of interaction with musical instruments by children that have been documented in different research on musical education in early childhood, the same ones we use to exemplify possible analyses from the perspective of the phenomenology of the social world. We conclude with some remarks that conceive of Schutz's theory as a relevant perspective for the analysis of children's experiences with sound-producing objects.

Gerda Walther’s approach to sociality is unique in that it equally employs psychological and phenomenological concepts to conceive of collective experiences, thereby addressing manifold forms of togetherness. My intention is twofold. Firstly, I want to discuss how Walther embeds Husserl’s “pure I” of intentional analysis in an “empirical I” with habitual dispositions and memories, such that social experiences are not merely the correlates of consciousness, but arise out of a concrete psychological history in which our past emotional engagements with others are already implicated. Secondly, I will reinterpret Husserl’s concept of protention in the context of Walther’s approach to the communal. This allows for an idea of futurity which is not based on the immanence of conscious experience, but on our explicit or habitual relationships with others, meaning that we cannot but include them in our approach to the future.

The article provides critical analysis of phenomenological approach application in the European and American psychology. The authors describe typical misapprehensions concerning phenomenological approach and clarify its essence and goals arguing that modern psychology lacks examinations focused on the history of the phenomenological approach and on the development of phenomenological methodology. The authors controvert to M. Larkin who applies phenomenological approach in the clinical psychology and discuss the issues concerning improvement of phenomenological research quality, ways of data acquisition, fields of phenomenological approach application and position of researcher. The authors develop and present their own approach towards phenomenological research based on their previous works. This approach draws on dialogical ontology of the self-awareness and methodology of dialogue for organization of phenomenological research. We suppose such approach provides an opportunity to in...

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender a violencia de genero na perspectiva de mulheres inseridas no cotidiano de uma comunidade urbana. Metodo: estudo de abordagem qualitativa, ancorado na Fenomenologia Social. Os atores sociais foram mulheres adultas que participaram de dez oficinas educativas sobre violencia contra a mulher. Resultados: a analise desvelou o vivido na comunidade, enfatizando a percepcao do outro em relacao ao fenomeno social da violencia. Interpretaram-se nas categorias empiricas: o genero; suas caracteristicas; as formas de enfrentamento locais; os tipos de violencia; e os motivos do silencio destas mulheres. Conclusao: ao considerar as vivencias das mulheres e suas relacoes sociais, entendendo como a propria mulher, vitima principal da violencia baseada no genero, pensa, visualiza e desenvolve relacoes sobre o tema, permitiu uma compreensao mais ampla do fenomeno, abarcando questoes culturais (experiencias), historicas (conhecimento) e sociais (crencas, preconceitos, sent...

The constant evolution of technology in terms of inexpensive and embedded wireless interfaces and powerful chipsets has leads to the massive usage and development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This potentially affects all aspects of our lives ranging from home automation (e.g. Smart Buildings), passing through e-Health applications, environmental observations and broadcasting, food sustainability, energy management and Smart Grids, military services to many other applications. WSNs are formed of an increasing number of sensor/actuator/relay/sink devices, generally self-organized in clusters and domain dedicated, that are provided by an increasing number of manufacturers, which leads to interoperability problems (e.g., heterogeneous interfaces and/or grounding, heterogeneous descriptions, profiles, models …). Moreover, these networks are generally implemented as vertical solutions not able to interoperate with each other. The data provided by these WSNs are also very heterogene...

espanolEl analisis de las desigualdades sociales ha sido frecuentemente presentado en la investigacion sociologica en terminos de la distribucion de bienes y de oportunidades sociales, culturales o politicas, esto es, en terminos de las posibilidades objetivas de adquisicion de recursos estrategicos. Sin embargo, poco se ha dicho acerca de la manifestacion subjetiva del fenomeno y en los trabajos que han estudiado ese aspecto subyace el supuesto de que este involucra unicamente la comparacion con Otros. Partiendo de una revision critica de esas perspectivas el articulo recupera, desde el punto de vista conceptual, el significado subjetivo del actor para el abordaje de la desigualdad social tomando como referencia la sociologia de orientacion fenomenologica de Alfred Schutz. Se sostiene que la sociologia de Schutz ofrece herramientas conceptuales para investigar la experiencia subjetiva de la desigualdad en la vida cotidiana, asi como lineamientos para el abordaje empirico de esa exp...

Alfred Schutz with his phenomenology introduced the concept of multiple reality. For Schutz, the reality in this world is not only in the reality of social life, but also includes fantasy reality, dream reality, etc. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze and describe how the concepts, characteristics, methods and examples of the use of the phenomenological approach in Alfred Schutz's perspective qualitative research methodology. The results of the study explain that the phenomenological approach pioneered by Edmund Husserl has a watchword: zuruck zu den sachen selbst (back to things themselves) that a method for explain phenomena in their purity, where these phenomena are anything that in some way appears in human consciousness . Whether in the form of something as a result of fiction or in the form of something real.
