Storytelling : Hannah Arendt e il racconto di storia
P. 129-145
- The essay examines H. Arendt's views on history and storytelling in terms of both a support to her theory of ‘factual context' and a means to challenge teleology in historical determinism and philosophies of history. In what respect does Arendt believe that storytelling as a non-partisan ‘shaping' of factual material can support the right of human beings to have access to factual truth? And how does storytelling contribute to illuminate what we may term Arendt's non-organic idea of history, an idea capable of highlighting the elementary structure of individual events understood as ‘crystallized' historical entities? These questions are addressed by analyzing several of Arendt's essays, including Truth and Politics, The Concept of History, and Lying in Politics, as well as passages from Arendt's Notebook, and by finally comparing her views with Walter Benjamin's on storytelling and constellations, and Derrida's on the role of the witness.
