Cancer and War: Gender and Two Major Traumas of 20th and 21st Century

Abstract

War and the aggressive fight against cancer are transfers of the problems, placing emphasis on the symptoms without getting to the origin of the issues. War and “battling” cancer are not intrinsically necessary, but rather represent a failure to deal with problems in alternative ways, to resolve disorder in a situation that is out of control. Wars of mass destruction and the aggressive fight against cancer are the touchstones of the 20th and 21st centuries, of a world that contradiction and conflict have reduced to tatters. In this paper, we will examine the various issues at stake in War and Cancer and how the two intermingle, contrast and compare. We will seek solutions to such unresolvable conflicts bringing us and the world close to catastrophe.
