description | This text roughly presents the main insights and challenges in contemporary sociology about how the human-nature relationship is being understood. It starts by dealing with the problem of conceptualizing the very idea of nature. Afterwards, it presents the theoretical model of social construction of nature. As a complement, it poses the question ¿What can it be done after the social-nature relational crisis? so that it illustrates a set of answers given from the diverse political-ecology’s points of view, on how to act about it. Finally, this article concludes that although the society-nature relational problems are being increasingly recognized by modern societies, we are far from a consensual strategy to deal with the contemporary cultural domination-over-nature model, as well as its ecological and social risks. |

This text roughly presents the main insights and challenges in contemporary sociology about how the human-nature relationship is being understood.

Este texto presenta las principales propuestas y retos de la sociología contemporánea acerca de la comprensión de los vínculos entre la sociedad y la naturaleza. Para comenzar, problematiza la definición misma del concepto de naturaleza, a partir de lo cual se presenta el modelo teórico de la construcción social de la naturaleza. De forma complementaria, frente a la pregunta ¿qué podemos hacer ante la ‘crisis’ de la relación sociedad-naturaleza? expone un panorama general de un conjunto de respuestas que, desde la Ecología Política, plantean diversos caminos posibles acerca de cómo corregir y enfrentar esta situación. A manera de conclusión, resalta que a pesar de ser una problemática con un reconocimiento social creciente, estamos lejos de un consenso capaz de responder a los retos y riesgos ecológicos y sociales que impone el modelo cultural de dominación de la naturaleza que caracteriza la relación contemporánea entre las sociedades modernas y el mundo natural. 2010-05-14 2022-03-22T19:01:24Z 2022-03-22T19:01:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/822 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/96092 spa https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/822/742 Derechos de autor 2014 Territorios application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Territorios; No. 20-21 (2009): (January-December) Development Territorial Economic Territorios; Núm. 20-21 (2009): (enero-diciembre) Desarrollo económico territorial 2215-7484 0123-8418 |
