摘要:Contributions of science of culture to the research in organizational
communication field. The present paper aims to discuss the conditions of likelihood of
inserting a methodological option in the field of organisational communication, an option
that rose from the project of Ernst Cassirer to formulate a general theory of symbolic
forms. In fact, it is about stating a theoretical and methodological frame capable of
answering a concrete need, phenomenological in nature, to study the communication
structure of organisations not as a given fact, not as a finite and given construction, but as
an ensemble of spiritual manifestations which build and enforce the human being. Access
to the methodological contributions of symbolic form philosophy in the research of
organisational communication is suggested by Cassirer himself through the thesis
according to which the goal of his studies on symbolic forms will be truly attained only if
its problematic will be reengaged and debated by each disciplinary field in turn. In this
context, the thoretical frame suggested here delimits an approach which takes as its
starting concept the immediate alternative of the concept of society, in other words the
concept of culture, whose content is inextricably linked with the fundamental forms and
propensities of the spirit. The main task of such a research frame is to approach the
original source of human action, the cultural products - the words of the language, the
images of the myth, of art, the intellectual symbols of knowledge, etc. From this point of
view, the ground of organisational communication can be delimited and clarified to the
extent in which it is regarded from the perspective of its subject, meaning in what regards
the thinking in act of this communication. It is about a key mutation brought about by the
methodology of the symbolic form philosophy, the mutation from object towards subject.
In order to understand the organisational communication one must start from its subject,
following the hypothesis that there is organisational communication in what regards the human being to the extent in which there is organisational communication in humans,
since individual himself became, at a certain point, organisational communication.
Therefore, the trasfer of methodological contribution herein proposed is based not on the
capacity to approach organisational communication in its entirety, but on that of the
subject as animal symbolicum and as inhabitant of a community which permanently
insitutes a world within which he communicates, to which he refers and which he
changes. The research in organisational communication participates, from this point of
view, to the field of science of culture.
