Abstract
In this text I shall introduce a working hypothesis within a social context in which are intertwined the following issues: on the one hand, the constant problematization of personal and collective identities; on the other, an increasing preoccupation for the composition of accounts and the constitution of practices as regards the conservation of elements in risk of disappearing. From this starting point, the hypothesis would seek, in a plausible way, to answer this interrogation: ¿is it possible to develop mechanisms of identity construction and preservation after, from a social point of view, catastrophic situations (wars, dictatorships, natural catastrophes, terrorist attacks)? The hypothesis presented as a set of reflections comes to respond in an affirmative way: it is possible to produce or reconstruct meaning strategies after social trauma or catastrophe but neither in its totality (the representation and the reparation will always be partial) nor under the circumstances in which it was used to do it before the catastrophe (other agents and processes participate like, for instance, those considered as experts).
