Descrizione

F. INTROINI, Re-opening complexity. Notes for a socio-anthropological reframing
Globalization and its emphasis upon a world society and a world global order in which processes and actors connect in non-linear ways has re-awaken sociology’s social interest for complexity as if complexity itself could be a sort of «new paradigm» able to put social sciences in the best condition to deal with contemporary social world and its apparent non-intellegibility. This contribution aims to sketch a historical pathway in the field of complexity to show how – altought there exists a specifc language and a particular categorical apparatus that seems to legitimate the idea of a «science of complexity» – complexity studies can’t be appropriately thought of in terms of a coherent and unified paradigm, because this would mean to betray complexity itself and its profound anthropological implications. This is the suggestive lesson coming from complexity masters such as Morin, Latour and Urry.
Key words: complexity, science, social sciences epistemology, anthropology, (global) order.
