The subject of Risk, Culture, and Environment is aimed to fill a very relevant gap in the curriculum of the Degree in Sociology. This is, the concern in most recent sociological theory about the phenomena that are structuring the advanced societies. From a going in depth in sociological theory about risk and risk society, this subject tries to initiate students in one of the most important areas in the current sociological research. Under different conceptualizations, the new sociological theory comes to question the same foundations of its own task. This is, the eminently modern division between the phenomena of society from the phenomena of nature or, in other terms, culture from environment.
