Abstract
The main object of the paper is to find a socio-anthropological notion of the Anthropocene. The common problems of environment, social justice and public culture (common sense, media and social communication), are the research field of our reflection, in order to rebuilt our analytical tools and critical attitudes. Starting from famous essays and case studies, the paper is going in depth offering an interdisciplinary critical comment, in order to define a new approach: Anthropology and Sociology of the Anthropocene. The focus concerns two contemporary problems: the relationship among new global process of knowledge and the scientific knowledge of globalization; a new definition, in social and cultural terms, of the real needs of knowledge for sustainability and democratic citizenship today, all over the world. The final hypothesis describes the Anthropocene as a humankind syndrome. The most important masters and bibliographic references are: E. Durkheim, M. Douglas, C. Lévi-Strauss, P. L. Berger, N. Lhumann, J. Passmore, B. Latour, A. Giddens and A. Appadurai.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
