Descrizione

The European sociological theory thought has always analysed the category of «individual» as a product of Modernity: this notion is at the core of the analysis which describe the transition from a «Traditional» social order to the «Modern» one. In this scenario individualisation plays a central part but, though it is often used by scholars as a prominent tool to interpret social change, its definition still remains problematic. Through exploiting a theoretical reflection on the individual’s present condition, this article will speak in favour of the interpretative value of individualisation in sociology. Then, through paying attention to the scenario of a non-Western Modernity, individualisation will help us to describe some crucial categories to define contemporary society: from the condition of the individual choice up to the laborious construction of the individual biographical trajectory in different social and personal domains. This path will reveal the value of the category of «individual» as a sociological tool to investigate contemporary social change and the new challenges of our present global society.
