Desde la Modernidad, etapa de esperanza, de garantías, de conquistas, de fortalecimiento del Estado y de un protagonismo en materia de Justicia, hemos ido evolucionando con una gran dosis de eficiencia –fruto de la globalización- de desencanto, desilusión y recelos hacia “el otro” –fruto de la postmodernidadpareciendo avizarorarse una nueva etapa, la neomodernidad, que debe retornar a los valores de respeto y defensa de las personas, a la minimización del expansivo sistema penal fruto de un periodo regresivo de derechos y garantías, para volver la mirada a las personas, al otro, al reconocimiento de los demás, lo que exige, también en materia de Justicia, mucha empatía, mucha solidaridad y mucha renuncia. En esta etapa de la neomodernidad debe estar presente la lucha contra el inmovilismo y la búsqueda y retorno a la persona, como eje del ordenamiento jurídico
The age of Modernity has widely been considered an age of confidence, guarantees and social conquests. Also, it is an age for the strengthening of the State and, consequently, of its leading role in the area of Justice. However, the situation has evolved steadily in recent times. The quest for efficiency –very much linked to the phenomenon of globalization- in the framework of a society growingly characterized by a mix of negative ideas and feelings -disenchantment, disappointment, distrust towards “the other”- which are direct consequence of postmodernity is taking us to the new stage of neo-modernity, an age of hope. This stage should mean the return to former values and principles. It should give place to the respect and protection of the people and to the recognition of their human being condition and rights. This will have, for sure, an impact in the area of Justice. A lot of empathy, a lot of solidarity and giving up will be necessary to reach the goals of neo-modernity.
In this new era of neo-modernity the fight against immobility and the search and return to the person must be present as axis on which the legal system stands.
