Pragmatic Force and Language’s Institutional Character: Between Communicative Action and Symbolic Power
Main Article Content
Abstract
By using as a background Wittgenstein’s and Austin’s reflections
about language, the aim of this paper is to compare the way Habermas and
Bourdieu rebuild that original pragmatic perspective. I am specifically interested
in analyzing how the institutional character of language is retrieved by
Habermas’s communicative action theory and Bourdieu’s sociological pragmatic,
in order to show and to confront two different and irreducible ways of
appropriating the heuristic power of the pragmatic turn started by Wittgenstein
and Austin in the middle of the twentieth century.
