   In my essay Sobreordination in the world of everyday life I discussed several forms by which the experience of the world of life analyzed in its pure pragmatique become sobreordinated inside the phenomenological and hermeneutic its immediacy. But such sobreordination was yet conceived in a first level of reflecting experience as in the communications with others or in telling a story about something experienced to a thirst one or documenting it.

   Both efforts, the former essay on the hermeneutic and phenomenology of the intramundane and the further in question about sobreordinations explained to a certain point the theoretical mode evolved and delivered under my own books on medias, technology as well as under my research and studies of another cultural phenomena’s evolving in certain variate and diverse forms the reflecting’s of the immediacies of the life world. Beside that I must add a comment, that I considered and or I elaborated inclusibly responses to the relation between system and world of life as discussed by Habermas on modernity in advanced capitalism.

     I must now however advance to a further level of complexity starting with when the sense of reality and world are mostly effects of textual forms compatible and complementary in between instead of forms of the immediacy. 

   The present book is a theoretical effort toward such complex forms when our senses of the world’s results from the correlates of text meaning plots of the texts, to such an struggle I have conceived the concept of “world correlate” and its theorization, the retheorization of the Peirce concept of interpretant in its relation with referentiality, ground, representatement, clues, icons and the distribution of language between form and structure in Saussure toward a discussion of cultural theory in a postmodern sense and the proposal of a symbolist retheorization of structure something bring us to the analysis of the phenomenological synthesis of reality, the relation between world itself and the phenomenological world, the internal and the external.

     I know of course the Habermas objections to postmodernism and I am generally agreeing with it, but as I have sustained several times, I am committed to attain an intermedia balance, my individual position regarding postmodernism is a methodological and procedimental one.

    I consider that avangard and cultural modernism are not the same, cultural modernism was the form of culture regent in the avant-garde period, some vanguardists compromised themselves with cultural modernism another’s rejected it, but in general the avant-garde is related with form and aesthetic while modernism to culture, in the same mode, posavantgard or neoavantgard are not the same than postmodernism, like cultural modernism in respect to the avant-garde, postmodernism might be considered as the regent form of culture during the post and neoavantgard period, but from the moment post and neoavantgard are defined in respect to the former avant-garde, a relation of continuity but also of saturation is evolved within it so that postmodernism is considered from the moment beyond form and aesthetics as its own domain, the posavangard decides or choice to afford culture or consider it, in this sense, seized from form and aesthetic, postmodernism appear as an issue of method.

   The purposiveness of this book is not discussing postmodernism, neither post and neoavantgard, but to site the theoretical problems I have priorized as needed to be in the center focus of a postmodern cultural theory. Post and neoavangard are not the same than postmodernism but any form to consider culture within it supposes the assumptions of postmodernism and in this sense we need to discuss the phenomenological, hermeneutic and pragmatic questions this supposes to cultural theory
