Abstract: a cura di Swen STEINBERG traduzione di Alessandro SALVADOR Peter Burke, che con la sua opera Social History of Knowledge 1 , ha, in passato, offerto contributi essenziali per riorientare in termini storiografici le scienze umane e sociali, offre, con questo lavoro introduttivo, molto più che semplici approcci e metodi per la ancora giovane storia della conoscenza. Egli ne indica anche le fondamenta e i suoi sviluppi storici, che sono connessi a sociologi come Max Weber o Karl Mannheim e con gli approcci alla s… Show more

“…Techno‐optimism assumes that the Earth—while arguably not limitless—will always provide clever inventive humans with the ability to do more and find technological solutions to problems ahead. This view is dismissive of significant developments and in both religious knowledge (Bouma‐Prediger 2019; Toly 2019; Wirzba 2022) and scientific knowledge, as well as what science may reveal about the divine and what spiritual and religious features may be relevant for and already operative within scientific inquiry (Berry 2015; Sideris 2017). It is also blind to the actual, real conditions on the planet.…”

“…Environmental movements provide an important and timely case study for understanding the new compositions of the sacred within an immanent frame. They have been extensively characterized as a spiritual turn to nature (Bauman and Bohannon 2017;Gould 2005;Grim et al 2013;Taylor 2005) and their roots trace to religious foundations (Berry 2015). Beginning in the early twentieth century with Muir's conservationism (Worster 1994), then later expanding to include environmental justice issues of equity for oppressed people and places (Taylor 2000), environmentalism more recently incorporated indigenous frameworks (e.g.…”

“…While environmentalism has been extensively studied, and traced to religious roots (Berry 2015), the specific meanings nature as sacred carries for unaffiliated persons involved in ENVJ activism has been understudied. To this end, we explored the lived R/S characteristics and dimensions of ENVJ activism.…”

“…Como historiador, White não tinha como foco de sua crítica o cristianismo contemporâneo, mas a popularização de suas teses acabou gerando "fervor" entre lideranças cristãs conservadoras, sobretudo no meio evangélico (Kearns, 2004;Wilkinson, 2012:15) (Nash, 1989;Kearns, 2012b;Stoll, 2015;Berry, 2015;Brulle, 2020). 54 Para dar apenas um exemplo, um traço muito presente nos movimentos responsáveis pela criação dos primeiros parques de preservação natural é "a ideia cristã de que seres humanos são moralmente depravados" (Berry, 2015: 181).…”
