The 'Signe-Trace paradigm'. Fragments

GALINON-MELENEC Béatrice, The "signe-trace paradigm". Fragments. Translation by Laura Kraftowitz, from " Fragments théoriques du signe-trace, propos sur le corps communicant ", in L'Homme trace, Perspectives anthropologiques des traces contemporaines, Paris, CNRS éditions, série L'Homme-trace, tome 1, 2011, pp. 191-213. ; This chapter delves into one aspect of the signe-trace paradigm - the signes-traces of the communicating body. This paradigmatic fragment falls within the framework drawn by Paul Watzlawick, J. Helmick Beavin, and Don D. Jackson , who, following the theoretical context of Gregory Bateson, disseminated the idea that in order to understand communication between two people, one cannot merely consider its spoken content, but must also account for the relationship that determines the meaning of that content.
