VERISSIMO, Danilo Saretta. The social perception in light of a praxiological conception of intentionality. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.3, pp.302-312. ISSN 1809-6867. https://doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2019v25n3.9.
We present a theoretical discussion of social perception based on understanding the implications of the praxic capacities of perceptive subjects in the study of inter-subjectivity. Our analyses are based on the praxiological matrix of enactive and phenomenological theories, which serve as a counterpoint to the intellectualism and internalism that mark current theories of social perception. The joint attention conception, conceived in the 1970s in the scope of child development psychology, and which links research programs focused on social perception, is used as the basis of our investigation. We show the possibility of grounding social perception in the body and the practices of the corporeal subject in relation to the world mediated by the interaction and the incorporation of activities and perspectives of another.
