Abstract
The traditional model of the analysis of vulnerability connects this to the anthropo- logical datum and to the necessity, for mankind, to live under the protective umbrella of institutions. The essay tries to identify, from another perspective, e parte institutionis, the perverse and anomic effects of the uncontrolled unleashing of fears, hostilities and alterations in the meaning of concepts such as “people” and “sovereignty”, which cannot be reduced to simplistic and one-sided views.
