Papers by Linda Armano
To avert the end of the world, mankind seems to have to remedy its faults by setting out, individually and collectively, on a rapid ecological transition. In this path of expiation, the notion of the environment takes on the contours of a semantic reservoir (Durand 1996) from which emerge moral orders and normative systems capable, with increasing force, of ordering and prefiguring different spheres of social reality: lifestyles and consumption, national and international policies, the capitalist system, techno-scientific research and aesthetic forms. The imagery of the environmental apocalypse has thus become a powerful device of social change that highlights a series of issues around which the journal intends to reflect.
