COMMUNICATION BEHIND THE BACK OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Ignaty V. ZHURAVLYOV

[Abstract]

The article considers the nonclassical paradigm of subjectivity and its implications for communication theory. It is shown that neither what is communicated is "given in advance" bound material for communication, nor the one who communicates is equal to oneself. The individual experience cannot be divided (shared) with others, but, paradoxically, it exists only in-division and for the sake of it. Saying that communication happens behind the back of consciousness, we stress the necessity to understand the difference between the existence and the object-matter the difference which itself can be only a matter of abstraction, but makes up the essence of human experience and human communication.
