La sostenibilidad en el ámbito de la modernidad: el campo, la educación y nuestro consumo como nodos de la resiliencia social
Sostenibility as the scope of modernity: the nodes of the rural, the education and our consumption as elements of social resilience
Abstract (en)
Henri Lefebvre's profound statement (2010) —“Social space is a social production” (p. 47)—allows us to understand that sustainability, far from being a symbolic element linked to ephemeral and temporary politics, is closely related to community resilience, not simply as abstract concepts, but as facts and actions, as concrete results of our material and symbolic organization; of our inhabiting the world. In this sense, alluding to Kozlarek (2015), we advocate for a critical modernity that is reconfigured from a humanism aware of its limits and potentialities; that is, a rational and practical sustainability of our contexts, histories, and differences. Together, these theoretical perspectives critically illuminate the studies gathered here, allowing us to read them not as isolated initiatives, but as diverse manifestations of the same urgency: to reorient the production of space toward logics of social space regeneration and justice, in the new complex perspective of human coordinates within the Earth system.
Abstract (es)
La profunda afirmación de Henri Lefebvre (2010) —“El espacio social es una producción social” (p. 47)— nos permite entender que la sostenibilidad, lejos de ser un elemento simbólico ligado a una política efímera y de tendencia temporal, está estrechamente relacionada a la resiliencia comunitaria, no simplemente como conceptos abstractos, sino como hechos y acciones, como resultados concretos de nuestra organización material y simbólica; de nuestro habitar el mundo. En este sentido, aludiendo a Kozlarek (2015), se aboga por una modernidad crítica que se reconfigure desde un humanismo consciente de sus límites y potencialidades; es decir, de una sostenibilidad racional y práctica de nuestros contextos, historias y diferencias. Juntas, estas miradas teóricas iluminan críticamente los estudios aquí reunidos, permitiéndonos leerlos no como iniciativas aisladas, sino como manifestaciones diversas de una misma urgencia: reorientar la producción del espacio hacia lógicas de regeneración del espacio social y justicia, en la nueva perspectiva compleja de las coordenadas humanas dentro del sistema terrestre.
