avesse restituito una ricerca bibliografica condotta utilizzando i soggetti “uomo e natura” e “uomo e ambiente naturale”
nel catalogo Opac, con un arco temporale limitato al 1960. È stata individuata una produzione editoriale esigua,
ma già in linea con le tematiche che caratterizzano il dibattito odierno sulla “crisi ecologica”. I criteri applicati hanno
permesso di individuare opere scritte da alcuni autori che, travalicando i confini del pensiero ecologico, non sono citati
dalla letteratura storico-ambientale in quanto sostengono interpretazioni difformi dai paradigmi utilizzati da quella
storiografia.
This intervention presents the results of an empirical experiment whose objective was to verify what results had returned a
bibliographic research conducted using the subjects “man and nature” and “man and natural environment” in the Opac catalogue,
with a time frame limited to 1960. A small editorial production has been identified, but already in line with the issues
that characterize today’s debate on the “ecological crisis”. The criteria applied have made possible to identify works written
by some authors who, going beyond the boundaries of ecological thought, are not mentioned in the historical-environmental
literature as they support interpretations different from the paradigms used by that historiography.
