Hannah Arendt

1. What does Hannah Arendt stand for? Hannah Arendt is a twentieth-century political philosopher. She is best known for her analysis of totalitarian societies and her report on the Eichmann trial, in which she coined the term 'the banality of evil.' Power, evil, and politics are central concepts in the work of Hannah Arendt. 2. What is Hannah Arendt's theory? Arendt argues that the Western philosophical tradition has devalued the world of human action, which is concerned with appearances (the vita activa), and has subordinated it to the life of contemplation, which deals with essences and the eternal (the vita contemplativa).

3. What was Hannah Arendt primarily known for? Hannah Arendt established her reputation as a significant political thinker with her book The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), which also addresses 19th-century anti-Semitism, imperialism, and racism. Arendt saw the rise of totalitarianism as a result of the disintegration of the traditional nation-state.

4. What does Arendt say about the human condition? We are here not only to learn how to live, but also to live well. Arendt’s personal story and her life’s work affirm an important truth: the human condition is defined by both the greatness and the misery of humanity, and narratives help us understand the beauty and tragedy of the human experience.

5. What is thinking according to Hannah Arendt? Thoughtlessness: At the end of her life, Hannah Arendt focuses on human mental processes. In The Life of the Mind, she delves deeper into the themes of thinking, willing, and judging. In the aftermath of the Eichmann trial, it is particularly the theme of 'thinking' that preoccupies her.

Homens Banais, da série "Entre sem bater".

A sociedade brasileira está em apuros.

Os homens banais que são eleitos, principalmente nos estados, são cruéis e sinistros.

(via Totalitarianism Unveiled in Tania Bruguera's Powerful Defiance Performance)

Tania Bruguera’s impactful performance on totalitarianism, featuring Hannah Arendt’s work, is a reminder of the enduring relevance of intellectual resistance and the power of art in shaping a more inclusive society.

“O poder nunca é propriedade de um indivíduo; pertence a um grupo e permanece na existência apenas enquanto o grupo se mantiver unido. Quando dizemos de alguém que ele está ‘no poder’, referimo-nos à sua habilitação por um certo número de pessoas para agir em seu nome. No momento em que o grupo, de onde o poder se originou para começar… desaparece, o seu poder também desaparece.”

Exposing humanity's darker side #hannaharendt #eichmanninjerusalem

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve recently been taking part in a readalong of Hannah Arendt’s “Eichmann in Jerusalem”; this was hosted by a young YouTuber, but as his videos aren’t sticking to the schedule I eventually got fed up waiting and finished the book. Arendt has been on my radar a lot recently, particularly since I read “The Visionaries“, and so reading this title tied in well…

Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.

En 1990 est publié le roman choc American Psycho de Bret Easton Ellis.

Choc dans une amérique blanche avant la gloire d'internet et du mass-media où le héros du roman n'est pas désœuvré et tue.

On ne demande pas l'avis des auteurs d'une même maison d'édition si l'on doit ou non publier ce genre d'ouvrages. L'écrivain Norman Mailer (Le chant du bourreau. Un rêve américain.) prend position dans un long article paru dans la revue Mensuel : "...le plus grand mal, les vrais dégâts intellec- tuels que ce roman pourrait causer, ce sera de renforcer la thèse de Hannah Arendt sur la banalité du mal. C'est la banalité de Patrick Bateman qui lui donne son emprise sur le lecteur et qui confère à ce sinistre ouvrage sa force. Car, si Hannah Arendt a raison et si le mal est banal, alors cela est infiniment pire que d'admettre, au contraire, que le mal est satanique. Le prolongement de la thèse d'Arendt, c'est que nous sommes absurdes et que Dieu et le Diable ne se font pas la guerre sur l'avenir de l'humanité...

...

Oui publiez ce livre, non seulement il est repoussant mais il degoutera plus du crime qu'il n'y incitera...

...

Quelle œuvre dérangeante ! Elle est trop vide, humainement parlant, pour qu'on la qualifie de mauvaise, mais elle fait monter si haut l'enjeu qu'on n'arrive plus à évaluer l'ampleur du risque.

Parier sans voir est une activité creuse et ce roman tournoie au centre même de cet espace vide."

Et vous l'avez vous lu ou vu ? Quelles étaient vos impressions ?

Ha habido pocas personas que resistan a la multitud, que permanecieran solas ante las masas manipuladas atreviéndose a decir no cuando se les exigía un sí.

Capacidade de Agir, da série "Entre sem bater".

A manipulação mental está no auge.

As pessoas perdem a capacidade de pensar e de agir, sem perceberem.
