摘要：The concepts of sustainability and information society are different topics,approached through their own different vocabularies,development policies and priorities;their lack of interaction leads to a reinforcement of their isolation and stereotypes. The information society has the advantage of exploiting increasing efficiencies from the knowledge distribution and use,the economies’ dematerialization is not eo ipso eco-efficient or sustainable,but it has the tendency of generating unintended effects under the form of rebound effects. We are questioning a series of approaches regarding this issue,wanting to achieve a comprehensible goal rather than an analytical one. At the same time,we want to highlight the advantages of the Immaterialisation paradigm,“as a switch in consumption behavior from more material to less material”,as compared to the paradigm of Dematerialization;the first paradigm,that of Immaterialisation,probably has the deepest interdisciplinary roots.
