Philosophy
Italian term or phrase: mondanizzazione
Si tratta di un processo che, stando alla periodizzazione occidentale in cui siamo ancora calati, ha avuto inizio con la mondanizzazione del mondo ad opera dell’agire sociale, con l’abbandono del tempo ciclico delle culture orali, con la potenza delle religioni e dei regni che hanno dato inizio alla linearità della storia, accelerando il tempo a misura dell’organizzazione dell’abitare, dei suoi modi di produzione e consumo, dei suoi ritmi di vita, dei suo bacini di memoria e di futuro.

ANy suggestions for this - real or invented?

Explanation:
... through social intercourse/interaction.

The passage seems to be talking about how social conventions are created.

The basis of the notion is "mondano/mondanità", referring to *formalised* social interaction.

"Development/evolution" on their own are insufficient as a translation.
