Abstract

MASSERONI, Susana  and  SAUANE, Susana. Crisis and subjectivity: The social situation in Argentina from the perspective of middle-class. Pap. poblac [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.39, pp.239-261. ISSN 2448-7147.

This paper analyses how a group of professional middle-class women from Buenos Aires, Argentina, has processed the social crisis that emerged at the end of the year 2001. This study extends another study, initiated in the year 2000 and continued in 2001-2002, where it was sought to find out how the serious created situation harmed people mentally and somatically, in order to understand how the imposed conditions effect at medium-term the way of thinking and interpreting the currently lived happenings, and how today the past occurrences are reinterpreted. The research originates in theoretic assumptions coming from sociology and psychology, making it is possible to understand the consequences operated in daily life environments, and analysing the individual interpretations on personal experiences, feelings and emotions.

Keywords : Argentina; gender; social crisis; subjectivity; socialisation.
