Beyond the dichotomies of modernity. Forms of intersubjectivity as a critical attitude towards the future of territories
Abstract
In an effort to transcend the modern dichotomy between nature and culture, this contribution advances an ecosophical and relational perspective as a critical posture within territorial sciences. Tracing the genealogy of the concept of nature and the Promethean myth, it demonstrates how capitalist development and the ideology of progress have produced rifts among human settlements, environments, and productive activities, undermining both natural and cultural biodiversity. Internaturalism is presented as a principle of intersubjectivity between humans and non-humans, oriented toward practices of care, coexistence, and ecological stewardship. Through tangible cases, such as Lake Gusana, the text explores collaborative and co-management efforts, emphasizing the potential redefinition of instruments and the inherent ambivalences these alliances may involve.
