ЛОГИКА НА МОЛЕКУЛЯРНИТЕ ПЕРФОРМАТИВИ И НОРМАЛИЗАЦИЯ
LOGIC OF MOLECULAR PERFORMATIVES AND NORMALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: After the author raises the problem of the logic of molecular performatives and normalizing practices and offers his solution through the methods of the socalled nonclassical transcendental logic, he passes to some consequences of this solution through which one can delineate the field of the new problematic. Delineating this field, the author starts from the relation of the three functions of official discourse to the performative logic of the acts of naming (in distinguishing between affirmative, negative and double identities), passes to the generalization of these three functions so as they are valid not only for agents but also for spaces, times etc. (and not only in orthodox but also in heterodox discourse), considers giving, receiving the gift and converse giving as atoms in a molecular performative through which identities are mutually reaffirmed, to return to the performative logic of the acts of naming, to rethink it in the logic of the gift and to suggest how it bestows the unity of meaning to the problematic of the logic of molecular performatives (in putting “under microscope” the functions of such modal operators as “forgiving” and “promising”). Everywhere on this path, the author is interested in the ethnomethods of normalization through which the agents come to terms with that dim paradoxicality from which the agents, being in a doxic modality, cannot ever escape - the deviations from what they must do with regard to the identity they have received, the obsessive pathologies of normal life. It is this interest that gives the author the chance to see in the logic of molecular performatives an endogenous deontic logic of practice - with un-pre-given logical forms influenced by the resisting matter, and with modal operators which have not so far attracted the interest of professional logicians. In concluding the article, the author stresses that the consequences of the solution that he offers to the problem raised in the beginning of the article, are especially productive for an empirical program of what Bourdieu calls the theory of practical logic.
