Echoes of the discourse of purity in religion and politics as effects of the memory of the christian apocalypse

This paper addresses the echoes of the discourse of purity within a fundamentalist religious doctrine, proposing the hypothesis that those echoes reverberate in political powers that shift the focus from urgent humanitarian crises to a memory of the Christian apocalypse. The study employs a theoretical and methodological framework grounded on dis-course analysis and Michel Foucault's concepts of knowledge-power, and ethics. We aim to present purity as a discourse through operational concepts such as memory domain and echo. The results indicate a memory of the Christian and medieval apocalypse linked to the discourse of purity, which echoes across time and space. This, within contemporary conditions of possibility, leads to a fundamentalist movement that revitalizes the perception of the end of the world, while disregarding threats identified by the scientific community.
