How Everything Became War. from a Female Look at the Miltary and Back
of militarization of public space in language and actions, in the use of war
recurrent as a metaphor and self-legitimizing reference of a political action that restricts
space both in terms of perception of alternatives and social composition,
as well as in its decision-making centralization. Under observation are the events that since the 90s
with the establishment of the new post-Wall world order up to the simultaneous framework of war
preventive and permanent, fall on civil society, on relations between states and on the affirmation of
of value references and political agendas that place war less and less outside the experience
possible, as well as even legitimate. The primacy of security, to which we must also respond militarily,
for example, it has restricted the space of instances and movements for peace to give way to bellicification
(male) and incremental.
The expansion of the war space with the protagonism of the contemporary military is the result of a long process that over time has never freed civil coexistence from the construction of armed relations. This is what emerges in the retrospective look that is proposed here. The opportunity is to reread the path of study and analysis of the Military begun by the writer, in the 90s, when the political telluric movement projected the West and the world into the post-bipolar and globalized era, with the raw nerves of fragmentation and increasingly acute disparities.
