In the environmental field the traditional opposition between state and market has been gradually sidestepped by complex forms of intervention, where both terms change their meaning. A governmental perspective, rather than a governance one, is more useful in providing indications to understand the stakes of what appears to be a profound transformation in the way humans conceive the biophysical world and their relations with it, in which the hegemony of neoliberalism and its rationality of government play a crucial role. These processes challenge the conceptual equipment of the social sciences. The current ‘return’ to material reality does not necessarily lead to an adequately critical perspective.

Abstract
In the environmental field the traditional opposition between state and market has been gradually sidestepped by complex forms of intervention, where both terms change their meaning. A governmental perspective, rather than a governance one, is more useful in providing indications to understand the stakes of what appears to be a profound transformation in the way humans conceive the biophysical world and their relations with it, in which the hegemony of neoliberalism and its rationality of government play a crucial role. These processes challenge the conceptual equipment of the social sciences. The current ‘return’ to material reality does not necessarily lead to an adequately critical perspective.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
