Senses, Communication and Society -- A Theoretial Sketch

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the sociology of the senses in which different forms of interaction & communication can be analyzed. The pragmatics of the senses are structured by (1) characteristics of the senses as perceptual systems & therefore as an anthropological condition of action, communication, & society; (2) a pre-reflexive cultural concept of the senses that guide our experience by a five-part, organological, & isolationistic pattern related to functional conditions of the coordination of behavior; & (3) a specific part of the interaction order that makes perception mutually expectable. 23 References.
