For a sociological theory of consciousness

The aim of this article is to show how a shift toward a conception of consciousness as an embodied and mediated relation makes it possible to reframe the problem of consciousness in terms of experience, action, and the production of meaning within social and socio-technical worlds. Starting from a simple heuristic scenario, a child playing with a ball, the article outlines the main trajectories that have emerged from critiques of cognitivism and representationalism (phenomenology, enactivism, Mind–Object Identity), and assesses their coherence and limits in light of the infospheric transformation described by Floridi, which relocates analytical focus from the subject to the socio-informational system. The purpose, however, is not to explain or compare these positions, but to bring SENSE (Social Emergent Network of Situated Experience) into view as a sociological theory of consciousness.
