La fine del sogno occidentale

Rate this book
Globalizzazione è un termine entrato prepotentemente nel linguaggio comune che ben esprime lo spirito dell'epoca. Ma in realtà questa sottomissione delle vite umane al predominio del mercato rientra in un movimento per occidentalizzare e uniformare il mondo in atto da alcuni secoli. Con una lucida analisi delle illusioni e dei limiti della modernità, Latouche suggerisce alcuni modi per resistere a questo nuovo ordine che stende la sua ombra sull'intero pianeta. Attraverso questo volume l'autore indica molteplici modalità informali con le quali gli esclusi del mondo, sempre più numerosi tanto al Nord quanto al Sud, riescono a sfuggire ai criteri e ai valori del pensiero unico. Resistenze che lasciano presagire come la morte dell'Occidente non sia necessariamente la fine del mondo.

يَعيش الغرب وّهم وخدعة تفوقهم عَلى جميع الأعراق، وما هم إلا كومة من خردة بُنيت على جوع المَال وهو السبب ذاته لتدهورهم.
يصنع البَشر رموزًا وتحديثاتٍ بغرض الانسجام والتَّفاعل فيما بينهم، ولكنهم لا يُدركون بذلك أنهم يبنون شيئًا ليهدموا آخر. لكن كل جمسٍ من الأجناس يعيش قناعاته الاجتماعية والتاريخية والثقافية الخاصة به، والذي لا يُمكنه التطور إلا من خلالها، والحفاظ عليها، فكيف بدخيلٍ غَريب يَفرض عليه ما لم يخطر عَليه سابقًا؟
هذا واقعٌ يحمل تمزُّقاتٍ عدة، فلا يوجد وِحدة إنسانية لأن ما يقوم عَليه العَالم الآن هو نظامٌ اقتصاديّ بحت! وإن كان السلام موجودًا فقد كان قبل الحرب حيث لم يكن للطمع والجشع مكان، أما ما بعدها فهي مُجرد مُعاهدات سِلمية مؤقتة للبحث عن الوَضع الاقتصادي لمصلحة كل مجتمع.
تغريب العَالم الغربي يأتي بغرض محوه، فهو صَنع التقدم لكنه صنع التدهور والانحطاط أيضًا.

Thème d'actualité de la mondialisation et ses conséquences(déculturation, uniformisation). Latouche est toutefois épuisant avec ses assemblages de mots qui alourdissent les phrases.
