Terrorism, new technologies and state acting

the performative aspects of transnational terrorism and the technological devices for life binarization and denial of the human being

Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomenon of modern terrorism and the way in which state entities have reacted to these events so typical of the present time. The main idea is to escape from binarisms, both from analysis and from technologies that intend to prescribe all life, and thus, from a philosophical-legal critique, present the theme in a different perspective. It seeks to establish the crucial foundations of modern terrorism - the genesis of terror and war as well as to establish a first understanding of what transnational terrorism is - from the perspective of liberal democracies. It also addresses the changes that western societies have undergone, especially in terms of risk, uncertainty and insecurity, and how the communicative strategy of transnational terrorism has occupied such a space to compete, although in an asymmetrically way, with the political power,  military power and economic power of the states, and, finally, it is intended to establish a critique of the biometric technological apparatus that, on the one hand, increase the sense of security and control, on the other hand, have been used as elements to eliminate ipseity - the distinctive characteristic of each individual.
