Crises act as salutary lessons by the social imaginary regarding their own identity. Habermas (1991) argues that crisis occurs only when the members of a society experience changes as threats to their identity. Undoubtedly, this was the result of the events in 2001, the failure of the argentine economy, which broke the thread of days, quoting Oscar Terán (2002) expression. From that moment on, many national intellectual texts were published, which focused their discussions on the identity issue.
Punto de Vista magazine published, among others, a work by its Director, Beatriz Sarlo (2001), called “Ya nada sera igual” (“Nothing will Ever be the Same”), in which the author matches the crisis with a turning point separating “the Argentinean being” developed over the first 60 years of the twentieth century, characterized by being literate, a citizen and included in the formal labor market from the new situation of extreme need leaving no room for citizenship nor for any claims on the right to work, and where even the public school is broken.
