Abstract

This project is intricately connected to my current research, funded by FAPESP in Brazil, which intends to broaden and deepen an interpretation of Hannah Arendt's work. In this interpretation, I focus on time as an ontologically structuring element in her thought. This choice is justified by an interpretative emphasis on the importance of the phenomenological movement on Arendtian thought.Scholars of Arendt's work have not yet satisfactorily developed what would be a properly Arendtian phenomenology. There surely are a series of studies dedicated to her intellectual ties with Martin Heidegger, a classic phenomenologist, but these studies, although useful, do not usually seek Arendtian phenomenology properly speaking and that is something I may contribute to with my current work. Adriana Cavarero is one of the very few readers who places phenomenology at the core of the interpretation, and this project benefits from her work.I emphasize the role played by "the break of the tradition", which is a decisive theme for the phenomenological movement, but, following the Arendt's own path, I propose that Marx is the decisive point for this phenomenology. Studies dedicated to the relationship between Arendt and Marx may mention his role as a "rebel who collapsed tradition", but rarely develop this idea in depth and, even less, fit it into an Arendtian phenomenology.Just as I stated in my thesis that Arendt relies on Marx to propose a post-foundational concept of the human being in The Human Condition, and I now propose that she performs a similar procedure in On Revolution in order to dismantle the concept of political body. I showed that Marx is the "guidepost" for this dismantling operation in The Human Condition, and I intend to show now that, also in On Revolution, Marx and time appear as a historical and ontological key to dismantling the traditional concept of the political body. In common to both books, there is the concept of beginning, mobilized as an ontological mark capable of preventing the essentialization of politics.
