Hi, Jurgen.
While it is a bit to the side, I'd suggest looking at Hnerbert
Blumer's take on symbolic interactionism. His perspective addresses
many kinds of discourse, visual and material as well as textual:
Blumer, Herbert. 1969. Symbolic Interactionism. Perspective and
Method. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, Inc.
There is a more recent paperback edition from University of
California Press. The text is the same.
You might also check George Herbert Mead's earlier work on symbolic
interactionism,
Mead, George Herbert. 1962. Mind, Self, and Society. From the
Standpoint of a Social Behaviorist. Edited, with an introduction, by
Charles W. Morris. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.Mead, George
Herbert.
I think you can also get at some of this through hermensutics. I have
a bibliography that's way too big for the list, so I will post it to
you as an email attachment.
Yours,
Ken
