    No full text
    La guerra ha sido considerada por la antropología social como una de las actividades productivas más importantes de las culturas, civilizaciones o sociedades. Ella no solo reconfigura los lazos internos de solidaridad por medio del temor, sino que también continúa el sistema productivo por medio de avance tecnológico. Cuando las sociedades dejan de practicar la guerra simplemente mueren. No obstante, luego del ataque a las Torres Gemelas en Septiembre de 2001, el concepto de guerra ha cambiado radicalmente hasta transformarse en objeto de temor pero también de atracción. Dentro de ese contexto, el presente trabajo indaga sobre el pensamiento de tres especialistas (Paul Virilio, Norbert Elías y Corey Robin) que han hecho del fenómeno su centro de estudio y meditación. Estos exponentes han afirmado que la evolución moral de toda civilización depende de sus oportunidades de asociación ante la guerra y los recursos tecnológicos a su disposición que los lleva a celebrar la guerra e imponer la paz

    This article reassesses the ancient evidence on the praetors who fought in the Spains in the 150s and 140s, and argues against some recent reconstructions of the fasti praetorii for these years. In particular, two new possibilities are offered: L. Mummius, pr. in Hispania Ulterior 155 and prorogued through (at least) 154; and C. Laelius, pr. in a city jurisdiction in 145, and sent ex praetura to Citerior in 144, when his friend Scipio Aemilianus secured the removal of the Spains from the consular sortition for that year. If correct, this example of a city praetor setting out after the year of the magistracy for an overseas province would provide an early precedent for what was later to be a common practice, which Sulla as dictator finally was to institutionalize.Peer reviewe
