Riesgo ecológico: cambio climático como problema corporal abstracto
2018
Overview
Este ensayo utiliza el concepto de Ulrich Beck de la sociedad de riesgo para entender la amenaza del cambio climático catastrófico. Postula que esta amenaza es “abstracta-corpórea” y por ende un tipo de amenaza especial que plantea formas especiales de retos epistémicos y ecológicos. El centro de estos retos es el problema de la vulnerabilidad humana, la cual involucra una forma compleja de confianza que sostiene y amenaza la supervivencia humana.
This essay uses Ulrich Beck’s concept of risk society to understand the threat of catastrophic climate change. It argues that this threat is “abstract-corporeal”, and therefore a special kind of threat that poses special kinds of epistemic and ecological challenges. At the center of these challenges is the problem of human vulnerability, which entails a complex form of trust that both sustains and threatens human survival.
