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'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 …

Biopolitica Y Diseminación De La Violencia: La Crítica De Arendt Al Presente, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2004

Biopolitica Y Diseminación De La Violencia: La Crítica De Arendt Al Presente, 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 Modernidade: Esquecimento E Redescoberta Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2001

Hannah Arendt E A Modernidade: Esquecimento E Redescoberta Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Hannah Arendt views Modernity as the epoch of the forgetfulness of politics in its democratic determinations, since the political and the public sphere were either totally reduced to the specter of violence and terror, as it happened in the case of totalitarian regimes, or totally absorbed by the bureaucratic administration of society’s economic interests. In this article I intend to discuss the main arguments that constitute her critical diagnosis of Modernity, retracing them to their inspirational origins, that is, Nietzsche’s and Heidegger’s critical assessments of Modernity. Finally, I try to demonstrate that Arendt has balanced her critical understanding of politics …


Hannah Arendt Entre Heidegger E Benjamin: A Crítica Da Tradição E A Recuperação Da Origem Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2001

Hannah Arendt Entre Heidegger E Benjamin: A Crítica Da Tradição E A Recuperação Da Origem Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

O pensamento arendtiano elaborou-se à sombra das rupturas decisivas que obscureceram o presente, iniciando-se com a análise crítica do fenômeno totalitário para complementar-se com uma vigorosa crítica da tradição do pensamento político ocidental, cujas categorias não mais permitiriam a compreensão dos eventos políticos contemporâneos, nem ofereceriam alternativas capazes de revigorar a política e obstar a reinstituição do mal totalitário. O argumento deste texto é o de que, impossibilitada de fiar-se na tradição do pensamento político, Arendt não se contentou em simplesmente lamentar a perda da dignidade da política no presente por meio de uma rememoração nostálgica do passado greco-romano. Refletindo …
