Dalla società individuale alla società individualizzata. Lo sviluppo tra progresso e conflitto

Abstract

From the individual society to the individualised society

The following article is a systemic analyse of disembedding processes which involve the global scene. In particular, there will be analysed several elements which influenced the development of the modern capitalism: the meaning of devel-opment, as a “double cut” army, that can increase wellness and social progress, but even risks and social inequality too. What does happen from a modern society to a “second modernity”, above all in the field of the individualism and the passage to the individualisation? How does it change the meaning of subjectivity in the “full modernity” and during the crisis of it. I will argue three possible keys of lecture of the meaning of individualisation: counter-modernity phenomenon, birth of a new “communication action, or individualised irresponsibility?
