GONZALEZ-MONTERO, Sebastián Alejandro. On the Sadness of Living with Fear Slopes: Memory, Violence and Future. Palabra Clave [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.2, pp.418-451. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2015.18.2.5.

Here we are dedicated to the central problem of thinking about sadness and joy in scenarios of armed conflict, violence, war and pain. We want to show that the richness of life in general carries in itself the challenge of assessing, case by case, that which serves the vital expansion and duration of all life. We say here: we cannot forget the substantial contexts in which life expresses in order to bring the behavior of a practical ethical nature, judgments that will try to define in the range of joy and sadness. We affirm that the grounds for action, the actions themselves, the behavior that we assume from others, can be understood among those going to the meeting and favoring life and those that end, overwhelmed, censor, prohibit, limit and end up with it. In the first part, we characterize the general problem of armed conflict and violence in the expression "If there was time for sadness." Then, we characterize the concepts of power and sadness to formulate the central question of how we will live together with the recognition and traces of terror and pain. Finally, we propose a solution to this question in the thesis on collective experimentation and networking. This last part will be conclusions.

Keywords : Joy; sadness; conflict; terror; pain; memory; reconciliation.
