| Sumario: | Politics as understood by Hannah Arendt acquires an eminently existential character: grounded in the factum of human plurality, it contributes to postulating a plural ontological framework for feminist theorisation, and to rethink a public sphere understood as the recovery of the ‘being between’ (In Between) that ultimately shapes the world. Political space transcends utilitarian logic and is not identified with any specific place; it is a space of visibility and recognition between one and the other, without eliminating the differences that separate them. It allows them to acquire their own identity, as well as harbouring new manifestations of the political. This article looks specifically at the reflections on difference or otherness, in this case Jewish, and the virtualities that anti-essentialism in its theory of action offers for thinking about a feminist political praxis aligned with democratic principles and not based on gender binarism. Both issues are intimately related. We will begin with a brief approach to the ‘political fact’ as Arendt conceives it, and then investigate feminist debates on difference and political action. |
