L’individualismo narrato. Le reti digitali come sfondo simbolico del soggetto moderno

Abstract

To understand contemporary human beings, it is necessary to know the anthropological processes and models of inculturation, such as changing interests, stimuli and investments. The preliminary step to understanding the profound changes in Italian society is to update the list of problems and detect current key nodes; this forces us to find new interpretative tools. The aim of this article is to try to answer the following questions: how is the modern subject formed? How much easier is the construction of its autonomy? What contextual conditions and what cultural climate do we need to socialize as contemporary human beings?
