dc.description.abstract1)-Today’s idea of a cultural “Globalisation” represents a concept mainly coined in a network of strong political interests oriented to the effective cultural control all over the planet. Though seldom avowed, nevertheless we could easily gather some sound statements that seem to confirm the correctness of this interpretation. (-Jameson-Leach-Argan- Said –Maalouf-). 2)-Particularly in architectural fields a skilful stratagem underlying the reasoning that supports the idea of a Globalisation, is the ambiguous way of understanding the historical periods considered , and designations employed, so I think useful to reorganise all of them, in order to rid away almost every ambiguity(-Le Goff- Nesbit-Eisenman- Betts-) 3)- Specially some designations like “Modern Movement” that covers different things, what has been already recognised as being an “ambiguous umbrella”, allows every interpretation and sustains every conclusion.(Nesbit ) 4)-So in a concrete way I am proposing the need to reed the evolution from the XV century until XX century, divided in two main Modernity’s, (?) that I suppose more warrant then others because they are settled mainly in social-economic fields. 5)-The first one to be considered, covers all the period from the Renaissance until the end of XX century, and it is the Macro Paradigm of Anthropological Modernity. 6)-It includes the Minor Paradigm of Sociological Modernity that is a more specific one and comes with peculiar problems implied by the Industrial Revolution. 7)-They both include several main periods and some other micro periods like modernism and post-modernism which are precisely that: movements totally integrated on the Great Paradigms considered before. 8)-Nevertheless, XXI century witnesses to the birth of Post Modernity, which corresponds to another Macro Paradigm, that splits out all principles structuring the Paradigms existent until then. This means a new cultural and political consciousness spread all over the world. 9)- Trying to be aware of this new demanding era is perhaps the first step, a big one I think, to oppose the idea of a procrustean and sterilising “Globalisation”.pt_PT
