"I did not understand was that under the guise of this violence were
irrational subjective
upside receiving in the same message they had sent."
Slavoj Zizek
Caleb Carr says in his text: The lessons of terror: the historical origins of international terrorism: "The nation or faction that resorts to war against the civilian population more often and with greater fury is probably the nation or faction further believes that its interests thwarted and, in many cases, their existence is threatened " terrorism, both state and other groups, is aimed to exercise dominion and control of the civilian population through fear.
Remember the campaign of then candidate of PAN, now president Calderón, against another candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who prayed that this was a danger to Mexico? So does the above-mentioned candidate, but on the other end, to raise "would be better off with ...", launches a hope, as the other fear, there in the most basic of the subject, rather than produce critical thinking voters.
However, not only governments, or those fighting them, use it as a strategy.
Fear and security-insecurity are everywhere: in the media, fear of communication, insurance agencies, hospitals and clinics, are still bombarded with fear campaigns "For disasters and accidents warn, "read the slogan of a bank that offered a" voluntary "life insurance that customers are forced to accept and which can hardly be canceled by calling the labyrinthine switches.
"Those who do not register your cell line will cut the number"; "If hostesses many children die."
is no coincidence that these times are filled with speeches on democracy, tolerance, anti-violence towards children and women, protecting the planet and human rights, which systematically employ the strategies of fear: fear of natural disasters, the collapse economic, terrorist attacks (bacteriological, suicide, etc..) to outbreaks of virus into a pandemic.
This is the era of fear! "Liquid Fear" Sygmund Bauman said, it has become our way of thinking and acting, without mediation, hence the effects on the body: stress, anxiety, tragic deaths, all under the logic of urgency.
While we believe that more that are more developed, culturally and technologically, we are producing better legal frameworks and working to "develop" - with the danger involved for the power, citizens face critical-there is an involution : transform people's thinking and acting in "trembling fear at the end of the world as a result of the collapse of 2YK cyberspace in 2000, where fear was deposited in the inability of computers to read two figures, we turn to terror ecological collapse, the global economic meltdown to the most recent, end of the world in 2012.
By being seized with fear, subjects transform certain functions to assess their contexts.
As Freud said in "Psychology and the Analysis of the self" to the spread, the mass work carried by the affections rather than reason.
Fear crushes reacted impulsively, all is despair and urgency.
What happened last Sunday morning in the Expo Guadalupe, NL
: before the detonation of an alleged gun, emerged a stampede that ended the lives of five people and wounded dozens.
could say that these deaths produced by the effects of fear and the search for protection.
paradigmatic of our context: looking for your own safety no one thinks anyone, even kill to feel safe, the annihilation of the other is my own safety, this could also be the discourse of terrorism, State and organized crime.
