How Everything Became War. from a Female Look at the Miltary and Back

The present work starts from the need to analyze the present and the contemporary process 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.
