Abstract

On the eve of a new millennium we were facing a globalisation process which embraced, for the first time in human history, what could be termed all of life’s phenomena. This process continues to go beyond those aspects which are strictly productive : the economy, technology , scientific progress and the relations of a predetermined productive process (Hunter 1995). It interrelates personal and local processes with regional, national and international ones, penetrating the most intimate spaces of human feeling and social representations (Serrano 2010). The question as to which direction the development of the planet (or indeed a continent, country, social or ethnic group, or a human being and his individuality ) is going is expressed with increasing rigour and urgency (Oswald Spring 2001a, b).
