| Sumario: | The following paper gives a general presentation of Giddens’ ideas about the social sphere, expressed in terms of basic trust, expert systems, and risk policies, by analyzing his main texts and contrasting these in turn with other texts from other disciplines. This methodology yields a better understanding of Giddens’ texts. Furthermore, the paper seeks to draw out the social implications of this ongoing debate between postmodern authors. An attempt is made to deepen where Gidden’s critical points of debate appear in relation to the postmodernists, indicating that though in some cases we are facing deep differences, a closer analysis shows that these differences are only about nuances or how a social issue is approached. In times of precarious and profound social change, it seems relevant to also understand these debates in terms of freedom and social change. |
