Prof. Dr. Reinhard Mehring (Heidelberg):
"Natality as a Taboo Formula. Hannah Arendt's Pariah-Reservation"
Wed, July 14, 2021, 4:15 pm
Hannah Arendt’s elaboration on ‘natality’ initially appears as a compromise between an orientation towards Heidegger (‘beginning’) and Jaspers (Kant`s ‘spontaneity’). However, it taboos queries regarding the conditions of possibility of ‘spontaneous’ and ‘revolutionary acting’, respectively.
The lecture asks how Arendt’s enthusiasm for the ‘left’ revolution relates to the conservative incantation of reversion to the authoritative beginnings. This question leads to further reflections on Arendt’s self-identification with ‘the girl from abroad’ in a ‘hidden tradition’ between ‘pariah and parvenu’.
The lecturer has published on Arendt since the 1990s, for example a review on the correspondence with Heidegger (cf. ZRGG 53 (2001): 256-273) and lately on “Arendt’s Pariah-Identification” (in: Power and Violence (original German title: Macht und Gewalt), eds. Wischke and Zenkert, Wiesbaden: Springer 2019, 183-216).
