Abstract

The present work seeks to present iconicity, as a semiotic notion, as a possibility of qualitative research for hypnosis, understood here as processes that cover specific modes of communication and the emergence of trance. Through key notions of semiotics and complexity, the present study discusses some clinical vignettes of hypnosis in which the notion of iconicity and the concepts attached to it offer considerable explanatory possibilities. Then, it outlines how the notion of information in qualitative, material, and interpretive terms can provide elements for the construction of a qualitative research on hypnosis. This moment is discussed and problematized with other perspectives of qualitative research, aiming to highlight the explanatory and methodological potentiality of the notion of information. The paper concludes by pointing out that, although iconicity has not yet been established as a possible important notion for qualitative research, it has characteristics and potentialities that will allow investigations of great pertinence in this field.
