THE SEMIOLOGY OF THE POWER AND THE SYMBOLIC MAN: REFERENTS FOR A RE-EVALUATION OF THE LAW

Abstract

The Law, understood as product and at the same time source of culture. Establishes ways of communication that modify themselves in everyday subjective interaction. Such ways of cultural communication are not always perceived by the Law itself which creates false representations of social life. Because of this, it is important to establish the necessary mechanisms to look for the principles that base the law discourse in it normative aspect. This work will be done by the Semiology of Power, by the meaning of the Symbolic Man and by the Philosophy of the Ordinary Language. The methodology that guides this work has as main objective to check if the categories Semiology of Power and Law make a discourse that includes everyday language; and as specific objectives: a) formulating some considerations about Law Science as a phenomenon of culture; b) considerating as categories the Semiology of Power, Phylosophy of Ordinary Language and Symbolic Man as idea of building for an authentic Law understood as the one which analyses the ideological charges of a law discourse. The methodological criteria used to carry on such reflection is the inductive method. Key words: Semiology of Power. Symbolic Man. Language. Law.
