Guerra y modernidad a debate
Si hablamos del binomio guerra y modernidad, una vez definido el pri-
mer fenómeno y su tipología, cabría analizar el segundo, con objeto de en-
samblarlos y darles una identidad acorde con su naturaleza común; máxi-
me cuando la idea de modernidad, presumimos que se trata de su marco
sociológico, de algo genérico el espacio donde transcurren los hechos.
¿Qué significa la modernidad? ¿Moderno, modernidad, posmodernidad
son ramificaciones de una misma idea? Algo nuevo, siempre avalado por
el avance tecnológico o científico, algo que no solo adquiere dimensión y
forma de progreso incluso de futuro, siempre por oposición a lo antiguo.
La guerra adquiere nueva dimensión, mucho más eficaz, coactiva y te-
mible, además de poseer un sentido más global. (Roger Trinquier523 o Ro-
ger Spiller524) ¿Cuál es su peso en la historia como algo no solo pretérito o
historiable y que tiende a buscar los elementos que unen pasado y presen-
te? La modernidad parece jugar en esa liga, si se me permite la metáfora.
Lo nuevo, supone una idea siempre perpetua o constante y por tanto, con-
fiere una actualización de la idea de progreso en cada momento,
Una tendencia a evaporarse cuando acontece otra novedad. Se trata de
una abstracción que vive de su propia imagen, todo aquello que supone
