| summary | In the perceptive crossings (like the crossing of glance or the caress) the perceptive activity of the subject is turned towards the perceptive activity of another subject. This situation makes possible for each one to constitute a face for the other. When it is by technical mediations that I perceive the world and the others, my face is transformed by the tools
which I use. However, I do not see my "face" ("visage") whereas it is however my way "of aiming" ("viser") the objects and people around me.
But, if, in the dynamics of the interactions, I can guess the face which I present at the others, it can acquire social and emotional values. We want to show here that this dynamics can be set up in a community which shares the same technical mediations.
To study the dynamics of perceptive interactions, we developed an original experimental device. It was conceived starting from sensory substitution systems that we develop for blind people. It allows an analysis of reciprocal perception (caresses) and of mutual recognition of the people in interaction. These observations show that it is possible to recognize
the image which we present to others (our face) through the way in which they perceive us.
This research should help to understand the genesis of motivations to seize and use a tool. Our hypothesis is that these motivations depend of emotional values attached to the specific perceptions of this tool, and that these emotional values are constituted in the play of face-to-face interactions. |
