Creating Democracy brings into dialogue for the first time two important theorists of democracy: Hannah Arendt (1906-75) and Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-975). Their shared conception of democracy stemming from their encounters with totalitarian governments – Nazi Germany for Arendt and Stalinist Russia for Bakhtin – and the rise of authoritarian populism in both Europe and America make their ideas more relevant than ever.

Hannah Arendt and Cosmopolitanism State, Community, Worlds in Common


Free Download Angela Taraborrelli, "Hannah Arendt and Cosmopolitanism: State, Community, Worlds in Common"
English | ISBN: 1350422762 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Hannah Arendt and Cosmopolitanism presents the first comprehensive study of Hannah Arendt’s cosmopolitanism. Challenging the common belief that cosmopolitanism is a negligible or incompatible element of Arendt’s thought, it unpacks various key elements of her philosophy such as her critique of human rights, the defence of the "right to have rights" as a right to belong to a particular political community, the scepticism towards the establishment of a world government as a solution to the problem of statelessness, and the importance she attached to the passport. Through this the text argues that Arendt is a theorist of cosmopolitanism in her own right, by reconstructing as systematically as possible an issue that is relatively neglected in the secondary literature.

Visualizing Atrocity Arendt, Evil, and the Optics of Thoughtlessness

Visualizing Atrocity takes Hannah Arendt’s provocative and polarizing account of the 1961 trial of Nazi official Adolf Eichmann as its point of departure for reassessing some of the serviceable myths that have come to shape and limit our understanding both of the Nazi genocide and totalitarianism’s broader, constitutive, and recurrent features. These myths are inextricably tied to and reinforced viscerally by the atrocity imagery that emerged with the liberation of the concentration camps at the war’s end and played an especially important, evidentiary role in the postwar trials of perpetrators.
