JIHADISM AS AN EXPRESSION OF VIOLENCE
Keywords:
Terrorismo, violencia, yihadismo, nihilismo, posmodernidad, ultraviolenciaAbstract
Violence is an occurrence that is not unrelated to the characteristics
of the society in which it occurs. Defining it involves recognising its
meaning and significance in the context in which it is used. Though
violence tends to be the result of conflict and has a mainly instrumental
nature, it seems that a new kind of nihilistic violence has been emerging
that, far from being merely a tool, is turning into a purpose that offers
a solution to the feeling of existential emptiness. If classic Islamic
fundamentalism was the perfect candidate to meet the need for a
meaning in life, modern jihadism provides a solution to the need for
existence through destruction.
