Abstract
The human-nature interaction cannot be simply
reduced to the use of natural resources by human
actors to support their biological existence,
but it is a ‘highly condensed social fact’ (Appadurai
1981, 494). Starting from the most recent theoretical inputs
regarding the concept of resources, this work
aims to investigate the complexity of the human-
nature interactions.
