The radical changes that have been affecting society in recent decades impose on the science in general, and the social sciences in particular, a serious rethinking of concepts and research methods in order to be able to adequately interpret the transition underway. These are, in fact, transformations that do not only concern interpersonal relations and the objectives of social life but start from and are reflected in the crisis of the environmental ecosystem and in the inability of the present generations, and even more so of future generations, to be able to satisfy their needs with the development model followed until now. In the search for a different development paradigm to apply, global adherence to the sustainable paradigm cannot but urge all sciences to rethink their own theoretical and methodological paths, making the sustainable paradigm also their own. This entails a real scientific revolution that certain phenomena, such as the pandemic crisis, have also imprinted, revealing the irreversibility of this ongoing process. The need for an integration of the sciences leads to a transdisciplinary approach to the study of the object of research, which is becoming increasingly complex, to the extent that it is necessary to 1) assume future time perspectives and 2) integrate even non-expert knowledge into increasingly proven models such as that of citizen science. The case study offered by the Pan-European Research Infrastructure for the Promotion of Metrology in Food and Nutrition (METROFOOD-RI) will be a good practice of how sustainability is now a paradigm for integrated sciences and citizen science.
La sostenibilitŕ di qualsiasi sistema č tale se si assume una prospettiva orientata al futuro: in particolare, se il sistema in questione č quello sociale, ne deriva che parlare di sostenibilitŕ non puň prescindere dal considerare la dimensione generazionale. Considerato che oggi la definizione della generazione giovanile non puň piů poggiare sulle tradizionali categorie cognitive, l'obiettivo di questo lavoro č quello di proporre delle riflessioni in merito al ruolo che č possibile attribuire ai giovani rispetto all'obiettivo della sostenibilitŕ sociale. Pertanto, le considerazioni proposte focalizzano l'attenzione su alcuni percorsi dell'analisi sociologica sulle nuove generazioni, soprattutto su quelli che maggiormente hanno posto l'accento sulla sostenibilitŕ del sistema sociale ed hanno studiato l'azione sociale in un'ottica non eminentemente ancorata al presente. Tale rassegna teorica consente di soffermarsi sui contenuti sociologici dedicati al tema della sostenibilitŕ sociale e di registrare l'acquisizione di strumenti di analisi sempre piů "sostenibili" nell'interpretazione della realtŕ in evoluzione, quali si possono riconoscere nei modelli e nelle sperimentazioni di tipo interdisciplinare prescelti.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
