Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to incorporate visuality into the theory of the social world as it was proposed in the interpretative sociology. The text consists of three parts. In the first, the authors present basic assumptions of the social world phenomenological theory. The second, elucidates the concept of visuality – the underpinnings of the chosen contexts of building and unifying the social worlds’ visual aspects that are presented in the foregoing article. The last, opens to scrutiny the examples of processes in which the visuality becomes a pretext for gainsaying the intersubjectivity of social worlds and therefore, relates to the opposite phenomenon. The theoretical and exemplifying endeavors undertaken in the article may constitute an introduction to further, more complex analyses.
