Hannah Arendt was famously resistant to both psychoanalysis and feminism. Nonetheless, psychoanalytic feminist theory can offer a new interpretive strategy for deconstructing her equally famous opposition between the social and the political.Supplementing critical readings of Arendt's most significant texts (including The Human Condition, On Revolution, Rahel Varnhagen, The Origins of Totalitarianism, Eichmann in Jerusalem, and The Life of the Mind) with the insights of contemporary psychoanalytic, feminist, and social theorists, Norma Claire Moruzzi reconstitutes the relationship in Arendt's texts between constructed social identity and political agency. Moruzzi uses Julia Kristeva's writings on abjection to clarify the textual dynamic in Arendt's work that constructs the social as a natural threat; Joan Riviere's and Mary Ann Doane's work on feminine masquerade amplify the theoretical possibilities implicit in Arendt's own discussion of the public, political mask. In a bold interdisciplinary synthesis, Moruzzi develops the social applications of a concept (the mask) Arendt had described as limited to the strictly political realm: a new conception of (political) agency as (social) masquerade, traced through the marginal but emblematic textual figures who themselves enact the politics of social identity.

S'inspirant de Hannah Arendt et dialoguant avec elle, Etienne Tassin entend repenser les conditions de possibilité de l'action politique en déterminant pourquoi le pluralisme est essentiel à l'action et en quel sens la démocratie implique la souveraineté du peuple. Ces interrogations font retour sur les mouvements sociaux contemporains qu'Etienne Tassin interroge depuis la possibilité cruciale, dans la politique, de la manifestation comme libre apparition du peuple. Ces réflexions le conduisent à des moments d'actualité qui sont autant d'interrogations serrées sur la défaite des révolutions, sur l'islamisme radical comme forme de domination, sur la construction contemporaine de l'Europe, sur la signification actuelle de la déclaration des droits de l'homme. Au total, il s'agit là d'un essai de redéfinition de l'exercice de la citoyenneté dans le moment présent qui est le nôtre.

One of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century and a hero of political thought, the largely unsung and often misunderstood Hannah Arendt is best known for her landmark 1951 book on openness in political life, The Origins of Totalitarianism, which, with its powerful and timely lessons for today, has become newly relevant. She led an extraordinary life. This was a woman who endured Nazi persecution firsthand, survived harrowing "escapes" from country to country in Europe, and befriended such luminaries as Walter Benjamin and Mary McCarthy, in a world inhabited by everyone from Marc Chagall and Marlene Dietrich to Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. A woman who finally had to give up her unique genius for philosophy, and her love of a very compromised man--the philosopher and Nazi-sympathizer Martin Heidegger--for what she called "love of the world." Compassionate and enlightening, playful and page-turning, New Yorker cartoonist Ken Krimstein's The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt is a strikingly illustrated portrait of a complex, controversial, deeply flawed, and irrefutably courageous woman whose intelligence and "virulent truth telling" led her to breathtaking insights into the human condition, and whose experience continues to shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times.

Dans cet ouvrage, Marie Luise Knott trace une esquisse des « voies » de la connaissance permettant à Hannah Arendt d’exorciser les mensonges collectifs et les idées préétablies, qui entravent l’acte de penser. Ce faisant, elle donne à entendre les voix qui habitent les textes d’Arendt, raisonnements, rire et paradoxes, et dessine les contours de cette pensée atypique du politique et du social, qui échappe aux catégories et systèmes traditionnels de la pensée politique.
