Rezumat

The aim of my work is to clarify the role that social interactions play in the mechanisms of social understanding. I will argue that this role depends on how we could conceptualize social interactions today, thanks to contemporary communication technologies. Indeed, social encounters no longer happen only between two ore more people who are physically present one in front of the other (embodied interaction). In the course of what I shall call a video-interaction, for example, one can interact with someone else while seeing her through a video device, such as a webcam. Two or more subject can also talk to each other even if they cannot see each other – e.g., during a phone call – thus being involved in what could be named tele-conversation. Finally, another form of social interaction that has emerged in the last decades thanks to the Internet is the online chat, i.e. a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver. On the base of the previous theoretical distinctions and empirical evidence from developmental and social psychology, I will try to show that our various current possibilities for interacting could play different roles (constitutive, enabling or contextual) in our ability to understand each other.
