Abstract
L'analyse diachronique du concept de "crise" -hors de son sens originel de "résultat ou dénouement" pour devenir "catastrophe" ou "désastre"- donne lieu à l'apparition d'une "culture de la crise" propre à la modemité dans sa forme extreme, qui tend à se concevoir elle meme comme la décadence tragique. "Culture de la crise" qui a trois phases de configuration: dans la période d'après-guerre de la I Guerre Mondiale, après la II Guerre Mondiale , et après la guerre froide (au moment où nous nous trouvons). Cette ternière étape se caractérise par deux crises concretes: l'écologie et l'état de bien-être avec, comme dénominateur commun, la globalisation du systeme. Le diagnostic de cette "culture de la crise" actuelle s'appuie sur le constat de la contradiction et du deséquilibre.
The diachronic analysis of the concep of "crisis", from its original meaning of "resul or dénouement" to its current meaning of "catastrophe" or "disaster", reveals a "culture of crisis" unique to modemity in its extreme form, modemity's tendency to conceive itself as a tragic decadence. This crisis has had three phases of formation: the periods following World War I, following World War II, and following the Cold War (the moment in which we find ourselves). This last stage may be characterized by two specific crises: the ecological and that of the welfare state, whose common denominator is the globalization of the system. If the diagnosis of this "culture of crisis" is based on anything, it is on the confirmation of contradiction and disequilibrium.
