Subject: CFP: Critical Assessment of the Writings of Hannah Arendt,
Dresden, Wroclaw, Walbrzych (31.3.2006)
Date: 22.02.2006
x-post H-Soz-u-Kult
Hannah-Arendt-Institut für Totalitarismusforschung an der TU Dresden,
Baylor University (Waco, Texas)., Dresden, Wroclaw and Walbrzych (Poland)
24.07.2006-30.07.2006, Hannah-Arendt-Institute, Willy-Brandt-Centre, Castle
"Ksiaz" (Poland)
Deadline: 31.03.2006
Walter Laqueur and others have pointed out the blatant contrast between the
admiration of Arendt's devotees on the one hand, and the criticism of Arendt
from 'professional philosophers' on the other. Ingeborg Gleichauf wrote
about Hannah Arendt: 'Academically correct – for 'proper' and methodical
work, she is nothing special.” Hannah Arendt's critics have proclaimed the
'Arendt-Cult' to be an irrational riddle.
In this seminar, works by the Jewish publicist and scholar of German origin
(who received American citizenship in 1951) will be read and critically
analyzed. Connections between her life and works will also be sought.
Particular attention will be devoted to her extensive correspondence.
The seminar has been organised in co-operation with the Baylor University
(Waco, Texas). The seminar will be conducted in English. It will take place
in the Hannah-Arendt-Institute in Dresden. The last two days of the seminar,
we will go to Wroclaw (Willy-Brandt-Centre) and Walbrzych (Castle "Ksiaz").
