Abstract

 

The paper examines the characteristics and institutional bases of the individualization processes in contexts of late modernity and globalization of the social space. Individualization refers to the mechanisms and processes, which turn the perception of social problems into individual problems, in view of psychological and family dispositions. Globalization and individualization emerge as two sides of a new mode of societalization. This new pattern of individual/society articulation expresses, in the biographisation of social problems, some of the most dramatic consequences of the weakening of the problematization of the social in the public space and in collective action.
