Beyond the Limit

Unconditionality as a specific context for social action capable of forging bonds

Abstract

The article aims to analyze, through a specific sociological perspective known as “paradigm of Gift” (M. Mauss, A. Caillé, J. T. Godbout), the importance, for the creation of social bonds and the construction of society, of the possibility of crossing limits, specifically in the conditionality of action: for example, exploring the conditional terms that affect the protagonist, whose actions depend on the previous existence of guaranteed results.
