| description | In past times, the transgression of the norm that prohibits to murder another human being was supported in supernatural believes. In hostile times, the norm was removed to provide a room for the congenital sadism of human beings; however, there have been several scenarios and causes where death becomes protagonist. Following this direction, this work, in its first part, explores the freaky sense designated to death in archaic eras. Besides, a dialogue and a confrontation appear and spring from the possibility-impossibility and continuity-discontinuity concepts. In the second part, a contextualization of war and extermination as dynamical protagonists of cruelty. Dehumanization and the archaic inheritance of violence are highlighted as axis that gravitate around the body destruction of unnumbered subjectivities. In the third part, individual responsibility is analyzed before the abominable great Other. As a manner of end, we expose how to die by Other’s desire is legitimized by the state. |

In hostile times, the norm was removed to provide a room for the congenital sadism of human beings; however, there have been several scenarios and causes where death becomes protagonist. Following this direction, this work, in its first part, explores the freaky sense designated to death in archaic eras. Besides, a dialogue and a confrontation appear and spring from the possibility-impossibility and continuity-discontinuity concepts. In the second part, a contextualization of war and extermination as dynamical protagonists of cruelty. Dehumanization and the archaic inheritance of violence are highlighted as axis that gravitate around the body destruction of unnumbered subjectivities.

En tiempos pasados la transgresión a la norma que prohíbe asesinar a un ser humano estuvo amparada en creencias sobrenaturales; en tiempos hostiles la norma era levantada para dar lugar al sadismo connatural del ser humano, sin embargo han sido distintos los escenarios y las causas donde la muerte cobra protagonismo. Trazado en esta dirección, este texto, en su primera parte, explora el sentido espeluznante asignado a la muerte en tiempos arcaicos. Sumado a ello, aparece un diálogo y confrontación que mana de los conceptos de posibilidad-imposibilidad y continuidad-discontinuidad. En la segunda parte, se realiza una contextualización de la guerra y el exterminio como protagonistas dinamizadores de la crueldad, resaltándose la deshumanización y la herencia arcaica de la violencia como ejes que gravitan en torno a la destrucción corporal de un sin número subjetividades. En la tercera parte, se analiza la responsabilidad individual ante el abominable llamado del Gran Otro. Y a modo de cierre, se expone como el morir por el querer del Otro es legitimado por el Estado.
