Opposing the representational understanding of language and taking it as practice in the construction of meaning, the idea of Language Games proposed by Wittgenstein enables relational and constitutive conception of human interactions, including in a single construct languages, actions and context. Placing them within the methodological framework of Situational Analysis, formulated by Clarke (2005) in the context of Grounded Theory, I suggest their use as analytical tools for addressing political communication in the discursive terrain of apology of crime, taking them as heuristics for the junctions where the interactions and conditions are articulated, combining material and symbolic elements in everyday practices.
Keywords: language games, situational analysis, political communication.
