Umberto Pagano
Umberto Pagano (April 5, 1973) is an Italian sociologist. He is the author of essays and sociological books, mainly dedicated to the analysis of social change and cultural processes in the post-modern age. His writings are characterized by a hybridization between the original classic sociological and contributions from other disciplines; in particular, besides philosophy, economics and anthropology, as well as "natural sciences" physics above all: an example being his essay "La società fluido-tachicratica" (The fluid-tachycratic society) . A peculiar trait of his work consists of the recovery and application of Martin Heidegger's thought within sociological field. In his book L'uomo senz'ombra. Elementi di sociologia dell'inautentico (The Man with no Shadow. Principles for a Sociology of Inauthenticity) he proposes an original interpretation of postomdern sociology (mainly the vision of Zygmunt Bauman and Jean Baudrillard ) starting from a sociological reworking of heideggerian categories.
