Beskrivning

Rosalyn Diprose and Ewa Ziarek provide a reconfiguration of Hannah Arendt’s philosophy of natality from the perspective of biopolitical and feminist theory. They show us that Arendt provides new ways of contesting biopolitical threats to human plurality and the threat of biopolitics – along with sexism, racism and political theology – to women’s reproductive agency. They extend Arendt’s account of collective political action to include political hospitality, responsibility and story-telling as ways of countering the harms of biopower. Diprose and Ziarek give us an insightful account of the political ontology of Hannah Arendt and form new dialogues between her and major 20th- and 21st-century thinkers including Foucault, Agamben, Nancy, Kristeva, Esposito, Derrida, Levinas and Cavarero.

Recensioner i media

Demonstrating how Hannah Arendt is the 'unacknowledged basis' for a great deal of contemporary continental philosophy, from Foucault to Agamben to Esposito and Nancy, this masterful book on Arendt’s work is both long overdue and just in time. Rigorous, detailed, and creative, Arendt, Natality and Biopolitics by Rosalyn Diprose and Ewa Ziarek, carefully shows how Arendt’s most innovative analyses – of the 'force of movement', biopolitics (avant la lettre), and natality – are obscured, denied or criticised by critics who absorb her insights, fail to credit them, or mischaracterise them. This book goes a long way to setting things right, showing how Arendt’s work, especially on the key concept of natality, speaks to today’s concerns more than ever. We are all in the authors’ debt.
