ABSTRACT:

The purpose of our paper aims to identify the constituent dimensions of globalization and specific trends and possible socio- pathologies. In particular, we seek to identify forms of “interpretive drive” understood as the deconstruction of traditional models within the globalizing communication context. We highlight mainly the impact of constructionist epistemology on the interpretation of the phenomena of globalization in general and communication in particular. We will identify changes occurring in the cultural paradigm level that is virtualization of otherness and its depersonalization. We will track changes in gnosiology frame onto the understanding of reality in the constructionist manner, viewed as a negotiation of interpretations. The paper focuses on the possible ontological construction derived from a model of constructionist epistemology. The research is a transdisciplinary approach, from the perspectives of social field analyses, axiology, semiotic, and philosophy of languages. We also analyse constructionist approaches of constructionist formalization of languages.
