El miedo en las prácticas políticas contemporáneas: en el caso de Álvaro Uribe Vélez.

Abstract

This monographic work starts from the question: how has the discourse of fear been used in the political ideology of Álvaro Uribe? And it has been proposed to break down from the following objective that allows analyzing the concept of fear in the political ideology of Álvaro Uribe from the philosophical proposal of Martha Nussbaum. The type of research is qualitative with documentary design. A review of primary sources of the authors Martha Nussbaum with her text La monarquía del miedo: Una mirada filosófica a la crisis política actual (2019) and José Obdulio Gaviria with his text A Uribe lo que es de Uribe (2006), and secondary sources that privileged publications of the last 5 years, 58 articles were analyzed. As a result, an argumentative text was developed with three (3) chapters oriented to: the first one to establish the politics of fear in Martha Nussbaum; the second one analyzed the discourse of democratic security through the proposal of José Obdulio Gaviria and, the third one, makes a relation in the Colombian case of these two aforementioned proposals. It is concluded that: i) fear as an emotion is a tool for politicians, which is unfounded through discourses; ii) the democratic security policies implemented by the Uribe government are the mechanism to maintain power; iii), evidently the security policies were a mechanism of terror against the population, according to testimonies in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP).
