Michel Foucault E As Lutas Políticas Do Presente: Para Além Do Sujeito Identitário De Direitos, Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César Jan 2014

Michel Foucault E As Lutas Políticas Do Presente: Para Além Do Sujeito Identitário De Direitos, Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César

Andre de Macedo Duarte

ABSTRACT. The text discusses Foucauldian notions such as aesthetics of existence and subjectivation, employing them in order to clarify new forms of political action promoted by autonomous collectives such as the Slut Walk, whose queer inspiration establishes a clear distinction against traditional identity movements. We argue that the political actions conducted by this particular collective can be best understood by relating them to Foucault’s arguments on the issue of identity, as well as to his interest in surpassing a rights acknowledgment centered politics. For Foucault, as much as for the Slut Walk collective, it matters not only to struggle for …


Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento Político: A Arte De Distinguir E Relacionar Conceitos., Andre De Macedo Duarte Jun 2013

Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento Político: A Arte De Distinguir E Relacionar Conceitos., Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The text discusses Arendt’s peculiar political thought, whose originality and independence concerning classic ideological criteria such as right and left frequently arises perplexities amongst her readers. This situation is aggravated by the fact that Arendt offers no explanation concerning the methodological procedures that orient her political thought. My hypothesis is that the main characteristic of Arendt’s political thinking lies in its capacity of both distinguishing and relating the distinguished concepts, an interpretation that counters current critical readings that stress Arendt’s supposedly rigid and contemporarily unattainable concepts. Against those criticisms, I argue that by facing the rupture of tradition Arendt exercised …

Heidegger E O Pensamento Contemporâneo Da Comunidade: Para Uma Hermenêutica Ontológica Do Ser-Em-Comum, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2012

Heidegger E O Pensamento Contemporâneo Da Comunidade: Para Uma Hermenêutica Ontológica Do Ser-Em-Comum, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The article discusses some theoretical relations between certain theses formulated by Jean-Luc Nancy and Roberto Esposito concerning the being of the community and what could be called as Heidegger’s ontological hermeneutics of being-together, incipiently elaborated between the period of Being and Time and the early thirties. In a first moment, after discussing Heidegger’s politicization of some of Being and Time existentials in his texts of the beginning of the 30’s decade, we formulate the hypothesis that Heidegger’s thought of the community is not compatible with nazi racism, although there are some political pronunciations of the early 30’s where he himself …

Singularização E Subjetivação: Arendt, Foucault E Os Novos Agentes Políticos Do Presente, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2012

Singularização E Subjetivação: Arendt, Foucault E Os Novos Agentes Políticos Do Presente, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

he text discusses the hypothesis that Arendt’s notion of singularization and Foucault’s notion of subjectivation offer important conceptual contributions to understanding who are the actors and how do they act together in the new and autonomous political collectives. In this text I take under consideration a post- identitarian minorities collective and an eco-esthetical-political collective concerned with the issue of urban mobility. The text is divided into three main parts. Firstly, I discuss Arendt’s notion of political action as the manifestation of the political agents’ singularity, closely connected to her understanding of politics as an end in itself. The manifestation of …


Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento ‘Da’ Comunidade: Notas Para O Conceito De Comunidades Plurais, Andre De Macedo Duarte Sep 2011

Hannah Arendt E O Pensamento ‘Da’ Comunidade: Notas Para O Conceito De Comunidades Plurais, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The present text aims at theoretically approximating Hannah Arendt’s reflections and the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy and Roberto Esposito, authors who have pro- posed a radical interrogation concerning being-in-common and its constitutive plu- rality. From Arendt we priorize the discussion of her concepts of action, speech, performance, freedom, plurality and singularity. From Esposito and Nancy, we emphacize their common criticisms against conceiving the community as a given subsistent reality, as well as their critiques against defining being-in-common by way of notions such as identity and subjectivity. The essay is dedicated not only to highlighting the contemporary relevance and vitality of …

Communautés Plurielles: Pensée De La Communauté Et Action Politique:, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2011

Communautés Plurielles: Pensée De La Communauté Et Action Politique:, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Cette recherche a deux objectifs complémentaires : dans un premier moment (A), il s’agit de reconstituer la trajectoire de la pensée contemporaine de la communauté, telle qu’elle a été établie par des auteurs comme Maurice Blanchot, Jean-Luc Nancy, Giorgio Agamben et Roberto Esposito, lesquels ont proposé une investigation radicale à l'égard de l'être-en-commun et de la communauté. L'hypothèse qui guide cette première étape de l’investigation est que l'originalité de la pensée de la communauté menée à bout par ces auteurs est due à leur dialogue commun et parfois critique avec le champ ontologique de la critique de la subjectivité moderne …


Hannah Arendt: Pensar A Crise Da Educação No Mundo Contemporâneo., Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César Jan 2010

Hannah Arendt: Pensar A Crise Da Educação No Mundo Contemporâneo., Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Abstract: Divided in three sections, the present article discusses Hannah Arendt’s reflections on the contemporary crisis in education. In the first section we establish some general theoretical connections between Arendt’s thesis concerning the contemporary crisis in education and her philosophical and political reflections on the modern political crisis. In the second section we analyze Arendt’s idea that the crisis in education is also related to the introduction of psyco-pedagogical approaches that, instead of contributing to educate the young to assume a future responsibility for the common world, keep them in their infantile condition up to adulthood, bringing forward new political …


Governo Dos Corpos E Escola Contemporânea: Pedagogia Do Fitness, Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César Jan 2009

Governo Dos Corpos E Escola Contemporânea: Pedagogia Do Fitness, Andre De Macedo Duarte, Maria Rita De Assis César

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The article investigates the school’s contemporary new role under the light of Foucaultian concepts such as biopolitcs and governamentality, and the Deleuzian notion of control society. We analyze modern school as a privileged disciplinary institution and its contemporary crisis is focalized by the notion of control pedagogy, with which we evaluate recent educational reforms that have started shaping the school’s new role in the present. Finally, we approach a very recent phenomenon that we title as ‘fitness pedagogy’, in order to enlighten the school’s new role in the application of public policies which aim at producing a thin and healthy …


Heidegger E A Técnica, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2009

Heidegger E A Técnica, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

the article presents and discusses Heidegger’s main theses in his 1953 essay, “The question of technology”. These theses are related to Heidegger’s late hypothesis concerning Western history as the history of Being’s epochal sendings. This theoretical frame stresses the originality of Heidegger’s late analysis concerning the essence of modern technology and modern science in contrastto his previous analysis on modern science and nature in the context of Being and Time’s project of fundamental ontology, from 1927.

Heidegger E O Caráter Historial-Político Da Obra De Arte, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2008

Heidegger E O Caráter Historial-Político Da Obra De Arte, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The text discusses the historial-political character attributed by Heidegger to the artwork in his 1936 essay “The origin of the work of art”. The main argument is that Heidegger’s analysis of the artwork is simultaneously an inquiry into the possibility of a new beginning in history by means of a genuine appropriation of history, a subject-matter that was altogether absent during the project of fundamental ontology. The essay on the artwork is considered as a first step in Heidegger’s formulation of his later thesis concerning Western history as the history of Being. Incidentally, this shift in Heidegger’s understanding of history …


O Acolhimento Silencioso: Ética E Alteridade Em Ser E Tempo, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2008

O Acolhimento Silencioso: Ética E Alteridade Em Ser E Tempo, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Criticizing current interpretations that stress the existential solipsism of the resolute Dasein, the present investigation emphasizes Heidegger’s contribution to the question of the acknowledgment of otherness in Being and Time. The key to uncover the post-metaphysical ethical dimension of the existential analytic is to be found in the theoretical articulation between the phenomenological analysis of anguish and that of the call of conscience. The main argument is that by responsibly hearing to the strange appeal of conscience, resolute Dasein is simultaneously opened to the acknowledgment and welcoming of the other as other.

Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2007

Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The present text investigates Arendt’s conception of the political underlying her theoretical reconstruction of the Greek polis. My main argument is that Arendt’s return to the past aims at questioning the political alternatives offered by many contemporary currents of political liberalism, which tend to reduce the political to the domain of the juridical. Distinctively, I think that Arendt outlines a radical conception of democracy that is to be situated beyond the model of our actually existing democracies. In order to show that Arendt’s aim was not that of elaborating a theoretical normative and utopian conception of the political, far away …


Hannah Arendt, Biopolitics And The Problem Of Violence: From Animal Laborans To Homo Sacer, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2007

Hannah Arendt, Biopolitics And The Problem Of Violence: From Animal Laborans To Homo Sacer, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

In his work Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, Giorgio Agamben affirms that Arendt and Foucault were the contemporary political theorists that best understood the modern dramatic political shifts that culminate in the Nazi and Stalinist extermination camps. This text explores this insight and proposes to establish an Arendtian diagnosis of the present under the paradigm of biopolitics, defined as the unifying character of different contemporary violent phenomena such as: preventive and humanitarian wars; fanatical suicidal terrorist attacks aiming at the complete annihilation of its opponents; the utilization of chemical and bacteriological mass destructive weapons by States against civilian …


Hannah Arendt E A Exemplaridade Subversiva: Por Uma Ética Pós-Metafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2007

Hannah Arendt E A Exemplaridade Subversiva: Por Uma Ética Pós-Metafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Arendt redefines the meaning of ethics and politics in a post-metaphysical theoretical key, disrupting both teleological and prescriptive ties that have traditionally bound Western philosophical thinking about political action and ethical behavior. In this project, Arendt stresses the mode of being of subversive exemplarity, i.e., the capacity to publicly appear as resistant against political violence, even when this appearance is merely passive and silently. To demonstrate the post-metaphysical ethical-political impact of the subversive exemplarity, I analyze some texts in which Arendt highlights the project of a negative and reflexive ethics, one that does not determine how to act, but what …
