RESUMO
Neste artigo abordam-se, em primeiro lugar, as definições de risco e vulnerabilidade, afirmando que ambas só podem ser entendidas quando associadas a diferentes contextos histórico-sociais e a diferentes áreas científicas que as desenvolveram para dar conta de seus objetos. Em segundo lugar, é defendida a ideia de que são conceitos distintos, mas intrinsecamente relacionados, pois, enquanto risco se refere às condições fragilizadas da sociedade tecnológica contemporânea, vulnerabilidade identifica a condição dos indivíduos nessa sociedade. Finalmente, concorda que a sociedade pós-industrial é uma sociedade de risco, principalmente pelos efeitos que a tecnologia e a globalização econômica produziram.
ABSTRACT
The subject of this article is the concepts of risk and vulnerability. It asserts that they can only be understood when associated with different social and historical contexts and with the different scientific areas that have developed them to deal with their objects. Secondly, it supports the idea that they are distinct concepts, but intrinsically related, because, while risk is related with distressed conditions of contemporary technological society, vulnerability identifies the condition of individuals in that society. Finally it shows that the post-industrial society is a society at risk, mainly by the effects that technology and economic globalization have produced.
