Towards Semiotic Sociology. A synthesis of Semiology, Semiotics and Phenomenological Sociology

Summary/Abstract: Departing from the common view according to which structuralist semiology (the Saussurean tradition), pragmatist semiotics (the Peircean tradition) and phenomenological sociology (Husserl, Schutz, Berger & Luckmann, and Garfinkel) are seen as mutually exclusive alternatives the article attempts to outline their synthesis. The net result of the synthesis is that a conception emerges where action theories (rational choice, Weber etc.) are based on phenomenological sociology and phenomenological sociology is based on neostructuralist semiotics which is a synthesis of the Saussurean and the Peircian traditions of understanding habits of interpretation and interaction. This is how we get a research programme for semiotic sociology.
