Tequila Sunrise and Social Action

Abstract

In this work we present/display a narrative exercise about social action and hermeneutic theories that have tried to define or to speak about it. Diverse proposals are taken: from social action considered as a text to the more pragmatic considerations of action. In this story it is put into play, in a gadamerian sense, a fiction that has the virtue of thinking and putting in act, simultaneously, a concept that theoretically has been elusive.
This approach assumes the subtle notion of fictitious narration that, according to Paul Ricoeur, has the paradoxical characteristic that as the most unreal is a reading, its influence is deeper on social reality. On the other hand, we agreed with Alfred Schutz in that, when laughing, there is a scope of meaning that grants reality to the fictitious world and the world of daily life acquires new meanings.
