Abstract

 If the autopoiesis concept has been of enormous benefit for the description of the society and in particular for the radical revolution of the theory of social systems in the work of Luhmann, with the phenomenon of the indexicality developed by Garfinkel it seems to have happened exactly the opposite. It has been not taken advantages of the unsuspected potentialities of the indexicality in the theory of the interaction systems, it seemed even to have been forgotten that the setting in use of the language in the systems of conversational interaction is only possible by means of the context realization of indexicals expressions. In this work, I argue that the indexical autopoiesis of the interaction systems forces to a deeply change in the theorem of the double contingency.

Key words: interaction systems, program-topics, form-time, double contingency, indexical autopoiesis
