Abstract

Description

Individualism has had very bad press in both the sociological and the ideological currents. Now, I am in favour of distinguishing between individualism and individuation. The first is related to capitalism and the second to modernisation. Distinguishing between capitalism and modernisation can be fruitful for explaining some present day phenomena. This is what is done in this article. As Ulrick Beck says, we are living in a society of risk, not only on the technological plane, but also on the social plane, where these risks are increasingly great. Social risks today are closely linked to the process of de-institutionalisation, and the societies of the future, as well as the socio-political projects, will have to take this individualised individual into account.
Indibidualismoak prentsa txarra dauka ia korronte soziologiko eta ideologiko guztietan. Hala eta guztiz ere, indibidualismoa eta indibiduazioa bereiztearen aldekoa naiz; lehenak, kapitalismoarekin dauka lotura eta, bigarrenak, modernizazioarekin. Kapitalismoa eta modernizazioa bereiztea gure gizarteko hainbat fenomeno azaltzeko emankorra izan daiteke. Hori da artikuluan egiten dena. Ulrick Beck-ek dioen moduan, gizarte arriskutsu batean bizi gara, baina ez bakarrik faktore teknologikoengatik, arrisku sozialak ere gero eta garrantzi handiagokoak direlako. Gizarte-arrisku horiek gaur egungo gizarteetako desinstituzionalizazioari lotuta daude, eta etorkizuneko gizarteek, baita proiektu sozio-politikoek ere, gizaki indibiduala kontuan hartu beharko dute.
