| description | This article aims at discussing the variety of meanings that the term individualism may assume in the hypermodern society. The article addresses it by the creation of a typology of individuals: “less individual”, “very much” and “narcissistic-altruistic”. The last one best fi ts to describe our society: a paradoxical society in where contradictory meanings live side-by-side. In fact, contradictions and paradoxes are the reason for optimism: individuals can be at the same time extremely in love for themselves and sensitive to others. |

The article addresses it by the creation of a typology of individuals: “less individual”, “very much” and “narcissistic-altruistic”.

In fact, contradictions and paradoxes are the reason for optimism: individuals can be at the same time extremely in love for themselves and sensitive to others. Este trabalho pretende discorrer sobre os vários signifi cados que o termo individualismo pode assumir na sociedade hipermoderna. Isso será feito a partir da elaboração de uma tipologia dos indivíduos: indivíduo pouco indivíduo; indivíduo muito indivíduo e indivíduo narcísico altruísta, mostrando que o último tipo é o que melhor expressa a sociedade de hoje: uma sociedade paradoxal na qual coabitam sentidos contrários. E é exatamente em função das contradições e paradoxos que se pode acenar com otimismo para as possibilidades do indivíduo: ele pode ser, a um só tempo, obcecado por si mesmo e sensível ao outro. 2011-04-06 2022-03-18T18:33:07Z 2022-03-18T18:33:07Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/3893 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63093 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/3893/3574 Copyright (c) 2011 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 16 n. 30 (2011): Dossiê: crítica da comunicação e política na sociedade do espetáculo 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
