Towards a new Concept of Sustainability? The role of culturalization and traditional knowledge

This work contributes to animate the scientific debate on sustainability in a double sense: a) by placing the need of stripping the term of ambiguous concepts wrongly attributed by the interpretative processes of modernity; b) to start a process of cultural construction of sustainability based on the redefinition of the roles of knowledge and on the man-nature relationship read in terms of interconnectedness. The authors will present a new term: Mitakuyeability, a reinforcing form of the concept of sustainability rather than its reinterpretation, understood as the ability to interconnect with all the possibilities of the universe that stimulates the ability to take care and the definition of sustainable strategies of ‘2030 Agenda.
