L’articolazione modale dell’esperienza umana. Un costrutto semiotico e psicodinamico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Riassunto: Partendo da un’ampia disamina dell’uso delle categorie modali in psicologia, psicoanalisi e semiotica a supporto della costruzione dell’esperienza umana, l’autore presenta e sviluppa la nozione di articolazione modale nei processi di costruzione del senso (inerentemente al senso di identità, alle relazioni intersoggettive e all’agentività). Le categorie modali (ovvero nozioni che si riferiscono al dovere, potere, volere, sapere, ecc.) consentono di articolare, negoziare e modulare l’esperienza di un soggetto, prendendo le distanze da un livello puramente denotativo e referenziale. Il modello proposto viene declinato attraverso la presentazione di tre specifiche funzioni semiotiche che l’articolazione modale consente di realizzare: (1) la funzione di connessione tra affetti, cognizione e linguaggio; (2) la funzione di mediazione tra soggettività e alterità; (3) la funzione di vettorializzazione nell’orientamento temporale dell’azione. Tenendo conto di queste tre funzioni e valorizzandone la flessibilità, si ritiene che l’articolazione modale possa variare all’interno di un continuum i cui estremi sono l’eccesso di rigidità e la polverizzazione.

The modal articulation of human experience. A semiotic and psychodynamic construct
Abstract: Starting from a broad examination of the use of modal categories in psychology, psychoanalyisis and semiotics to support human experience, the author presents and develops the notion of modal articulation in the processes of sensemaking (inherently to the sense of identity, intersubjective relations, and agency). Modal categories (i.e. must, can, will, to know, etc.) allow articulating, negotiating and modulating the experience of a subject distancing oneself from a purely denotative and referential level. The proposed model is declined through the presentation of three specific semiotic functions that modal articulation allows to realize: (1) the function of connection between affects, cognition and language; (2) the function of mediation between subjectivity and otherness; (3) the function of vectorization in temporally orienting the action. Taking into account these three functions and enhancing their flexibility, it is believed that modal articulation can vary within a continuum whose extremes are excess rigidity and pulverization.
