This article studies the discourses on trust of lay, non-expert, social actors in Spain. It is centred in a research on the way of understanding the next future within the context of the Spanish socialeconomical crisis. The material for the analysis was supplied by nine focus groups formed by participants that were differently affected by the crisis and social-economical risks. While finding out that the term “trust” is rarely used during the spontaneous discourse of the actors, it shows the coexistence of a certain lack of trust in the institutions but trust in society. It is concluded that beyond the circumstances of the crisis, the actors preserve a critical and conditional trust in society in order to face the uncertainties and risks put in their future.Downloads
