Socio-semantics of Amity

By Luis Carlos Molina Acevedo

SOCIO-SEMANTICS OF AMITY is an essay, from the Socio-semantics, about amity. This is explored in its dimension of relationship between people, but also as a study tool to address the complexity of relations between peer groups, whether academic associations or bands to commit crimes.

The study about amity, which was shelved in the Renaissance, is resumed. After analyzing its historical specificity, it progresses toward an updated interpretation of the concept of amity. Then, it shows how it can become a tool for the study of peer groups, one of the topics of interest for Socio-semantics.

SOCIO-SEMANTICS OF AMITY

I do feel first of all — that friendship cannot exist except among good men. Cicero in Laelius on Friendship

These lines are an invitation to perversity in the sense of reversing the order of the terms. The purpose will be to explain why friendship ceased to be topic of academic reflection, after the establishment of rationalism in Western culture, and to do this nothing better than to start with a short historical overview about studies of friendship, for then move to the Individual or psychological factor of friendship and end with its social aspect. This work is then structured on these three
