The aim of this paper is to relate "society"and "crisis", in terms of representation from one to the other, illustrating a socio-anthropological perspective for the study. Nowadays "crisis" means a relationship between the condition of social inequality with that of cultural difference. Gender (sex), generation (age group) and cultural identity (ethnicity, nationality, majority and minority) are examined as crucial variables within the context of the current global crisis. One particular risk factor within the crisis process is examined: a widespread feeling which assigns responsibility to cultural subjectivities while exonerating society’s institutionalised systems.
