The three subjects of intra-discourse dialogue in social studies on the attribution of meaning: consequences for evaluation

Abstract

The current article discusses the relationship that basic communication presents in empirical social research presenting the attribution of meaning to significant events in which social actors are involved. It postulates the existence of three subjects in action in this relationship: the subject of collective thought, the subject of researcher and author of the empirical study and the subject of the reader of this research. The second and third are classical subjects of study, where the first is a novelty introduced by the Discourse of the Collective Subject method. No doubt, what is generally seen as a result of research and the fruit of the work of the researcher/author, the collective thought reconstituted for the current study is granted, in this methodology, the statute of subject of the research. Beginning with this idea of three subjects and their complex relationships must be perfectly clear in these studies so that criticism and quality evaluation can take place to an adequate degree.
