Resumo
This work investigates the conception of History under Hannah Arendt’s thought, whose narrative emerges from her engagement to understand the totalitarianism event, and from her defense for a new political order. The author lived the war and the XX century totalitarian regimes; she was particularly engaged with a battle against Nazism and Stalinism, having weaved a history over such happenings. By investigating the tessiture Arendt constructs along her thought, in addition to her academic and political trajectory - both dedicated to the comprehension and explanation of the totalitarian regime and its historical dynamics - we acknowledge that the author develops a particular historical reasoning. According to her, every happening is a product of human action, characterized by the capability of initiating and producing the new. Accordingly, History is a possible retrospective eye, even by considering that every historic event is a disruption that does not abide by patterns. By examining Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, among other of Arendt’s writings, we conclude that the totalitarian regime could not be equivalent to its prior happenings. If, as the author proposes, the historical event always establishes something new, it became the more so urgent to question the manner of narrating and giving sense to catastrophe, so as to concurrently produce a political experience capable of achieving democratic construction, covered by freedom, intellectual independence and sovereignty, in order to outweigh the State-Nation limits. By examining how Hannah Arendt questions the above mentioned issues, and how did her personal and academic journey enable her to comprehend the theoretical-methodological combat she proposed within the diverse fields of knowledge, we came to a new perception regarding the author’s relation to History, and to the present time – Arendt’s and that contemporaneous to us.
