Hannah Arendt, Feminism, and the Politics of Alterity: "What Will We Lose If We Win?"
Hypatia 8 (1):35 - 54 (1993)
Abstract
Hannah Arendt's early biography of Rahel Varnhagen, an eighteenth-century German-Jew, provides a revolutionary feminist component to her political theory. In it, Arendt grapples with the theoretical constitution of a female subject and relates Jewish alterity, identity, and history to feminist politics. Because she understood the "female condition" of difference as belonging to the political subject rather than an autonomous self, her theory entails a "politics of alterity" with applications for feminist practice.DOI
