Violence, Action and Comunication

Abstract

In spite of making reference to a phenomenon of inquestionable social relevance, and for that reason to be used with profusion, the concept of violence few times has been object of special consideration on the part of the social theory. Their diffuse meaning is based on a not less vague concept of action, what has allowed equally to minimize its social significance or to overdramatize it. Starting from the concepts of communication and communicative attribution and imputation, this paper intends to give him a new and bigger specification, with wich new horizons open up to the interpretation of the collective violence in our society.
