5. Coming to agreement: Object use by infants and adults
According to the “naturalistic view of the object” children give meaning to objects in a natural, direct, and spontaneous manner, without the need of others. The myth underlying the spontaneity of subject-object encounter is that, in contrast to the widely assumed opacity of “social” reality within modern psychological theory, there exists an alternative reality of “non-social physical” that is literal and transparent. We challenge this by adopting a pragmatic approach to objects. In everyday life, objects are situated in communicative contexts and used for doing things. During their first year of life, children achieve triadic interactions (baby-object-adult) involving very different degrees of agreement with adults concerning an object’s use and meaning by means of diverse semiotic systems in contexts of joint communicative action.
