The method of dialogue: transaction through interaction
1University of Bari Aldo Moro - Department of Psychology, Bari, Italy. g.mininni@psico.uniba.it
Abstract:
The text aims to give a contribution to the discussion raised by Grossen on two relevant issues: the way the dialogical construction of meaning overlaps with the interactional format of the human experience and the degree of congruence between the theoretical asset of dialogism and the whole of techniques which could be adopted within human sciences. Till now dialogism appears to be more a seductive theoretical perspective rather than a convincing methodological apparel. Diatextualism may be viewed as the conceptual and procedural framework able to fruitfully posit psychology into the realm of the "dialogical sciences", because it is focussed on the "dialogical rationality" coming out from the relationship between transaction of meanings and interaction of actors.
