| Résumé : |
One cannot open a newspaper, overhear a conversation, without meeting the reference to some" crisis" -regarding a personal event, an economic, political, social situation ... What is the meaning of such a generalization of a notion which has also been, for a number of years, the ohject of fruitful research, particularly in the field of clinical social psychology? Is it a way to render it more familiar, less threatening, or rather to conjure the anxieties linked
with an uncertain future, through their dramatization (catastrophism) ? Or else, does it translate a general and diffuse expectation of radically new ideas and experiences. sustaining hopes for a refoundation of society? The repeated reference to the notion of crisis may also however be the sign of an actual awareness concerning the fragility of human institutions, and of the internal tensions which undermine them in permanence. |
