Resumen:
In recent years discourses on global crisis has been gaining importance as
a given reality. In Argentina the economic and social indices however have moved
out another way. In the last decade unemployment, inequality, and poverty rates
have decline for example have declined significantly and social security have
grown considerably. Despite this, and with the persistence of major social and
economic problems, Argentina is, for many, seen as a society in crisis. By
addressing investigate three cases (Middle
classes and its relation with the U.S. dollar, the experience of people living
on the informal waste collection, and the ambulant vendors in the city of
Buenos Aires) this work aims to contribute to understanding on how the crisis
is lived, imagined, and created in relation to national, group and class imaginaries
that cannot be understood without focusing on imaginary around a model of a Country
and the idea of a way of living, without inquiring into the individual and
collective trajectories, and focusing on power struggles among different social
groups in which the State plays a key role. Thus, this paper seeks to
contribute from an anthropological perspective on the understanding of the
complexity of current social processes at the national level (Argentina) but
also in a Global level by showing the framework of discourse and action that
build the current (idea) of (world) crisis.
