Study Guide Prepared by Rosanna Forrest, Dramaturg About the Playwright Kate Fodor Lives in Brooklyn, New York
Study Guide Prepared by Rosanna Forrest, Dramaturg About The Playwright Kate Fodor lives in Brooklyn, New York. HANNAH AND MARTIN, which is her first play, won the Kennedy Center's Roger L. Stevens Award and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It will be published in an anthology due out from Smith & Kraus this year. Kate would like to thank her husband, her parents and New York's Epic Theatre Center. Hannah Arendt Hannah Arendt, was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1906, the only child of secular Jewish parents. While Arendt remained close to her mother throughout her life, her father passed away when she was only seven years of age. She entered Marburg University in 1924, where she studied philosophy with burgeoning philosopher, Martin Heidegger. Her romantic relationship with Heidegger began in 1925 during which time he was creating his greatest work, Being and Time. The relationship between Heidegger and Arendt ended the following year, and Arendt moved to Heidelberg to study with Karl Jaspers, the existentialist philosopher and friend of Heidegger. Under Jasper's guidance, she wrote her dissertation on the concept of love in St. Augustine's thought. Throughout the years, Arendt remained close to Jaspers, although the influence of Heidegger's phenomenology was to prove the greater in its lasting influence upon her work. In 1929, Arendt met Gunther Stern, a young Jewish philosopher, with whom she became romantically involved, and subsequently married. After her dissertation was published, she delved into Jewish and Zionist politics, which had become a focus for her in 1926.

Hannah Arendt, Charlie Chaplin and the Hidden Jewish Tradition
LILIANE WEISSBERG' HANNAH ARENDT, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, AND ffiE HIDDEN JEWISH TRADITION 1. THE HIDDEN TRADITION ln 1944, Hannah Arendt publishes her essay, "TheJew as Pariah: The Hidden Tradition." 1 By this time the German political philosopher has settled down in her last place of exile, New York City, Europe is at war; European Jews are sent to the camps, and A.rendt, who was never to shy away from any criticism directed atJews themselves, reflects upon their fate; she considers any missed opportunities in their social and political engagement. Arendt has just completed her first book since writing her dissertation on St. Augustine,2 a study entitled, Rahel Varnhagen: Ibe Life of afewess. She had begun the book in 1927, and most of it had been written in Berlin. Yet, Arendt fled to Paris with the incomplete manuscript in 1933. The book is first to appear in English translation in 1956.3 Arendt is also writing essays on the contemporary situation of Jews and Zionism far various American and German A.merican papers, and she begins work on what will become her major oeuvre, Ibe Origins of Totalitarianism.4 The füst section of Ibe Origins is entitlec.l, "Antisemitism," and will concern the history of the Jews as well. How could one understand what had happened to this people, and how could Jews themselves have prevented these events? These are questions that have haunted Arendt since the 1930s. Already, in Rahel Varnhagen, Arendt deplores the lack of political commitment on the side of)ews, along with their long-standing rejection of or oblivion to-political action.

Understanding Anti-Semitism and Jewish Identity
(MIS-)UNDERSTANDING ANTI-SEMITISM AND JEWISH IDENTITY From Bernard Lazare to Hannah Arendt by Milen Gotchev Jissov A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2009 Copyright © Milen Gotchev Jissov, 2009 ISBN:978-0-494-48494-4 Abstract This study examines the responses of European intellectuals since the 1880s to an increasingly virulent and organized anti-Semitism in Europe, and the ways in which they sought to understand the character and origins of the hatred, and to fathom and work out the problems, terms and possibilities for Jewish identity. Focusing on the French figures Bernard Lazare and Marcel Proust from the time of the Dreyfus Affair and then on the Frankfurt School of social theory and Hannah Arendt from the period around and after the Second World War, the thesis argues that these thinkers created a common historical-psychological discourse on anti-Semitism, which attempted to confront, comprehend and explain the historically critical issues of anti-Semitism and Jewish identity. The study explores the discourse’s fundamental assumptions, insights, and arguments regarding the origins, character, and magnitude of anti-Semitism. It also analyzes its contentions concerning the contradictions, sources, and alternatives for Jewish identity. But, more, it claims that, despite their frequent perceptiveness, these figures’ interpretations of the two concerns proved limited, deficient, even deeply flawed. The thesis seeks to show that its intellectuals’ attempt to understand the twin issues was hence a failure to grasp and interpret them adequately, and to resolve them.

Hannah Arendt's Shared Destiny with Rahel Varnhagen
Hannah Arendt’s Shared Destiny with Rahel Varnhagen Hannah Arendt’s Shared Destiny with Rahel Varnhagen Donald J.Goldstein, Henley-Putnam University, San Jose, California, USA "All my life I considered myself Rahel and nothing else."1 ---Hannah Arendt Hannah Arendt was one of the most formidable philosophers and political commentators of the twentieth century. She left behind an enormous corpus of books that cover the range of topics of ontology, epistemology, political theory, linguistic analysis and historiography. She ignited debates that still rage on the Holocaust, civil rights, the ideal human life and the future of humankind. She was a Jew by birth and a Zionist by vocation, yet her writings transcend both characterizations. Arendt never renounced her Judaism, although she was entirely secular and distanced herself from her origins, not in rejection, but in an attempt to become an authentic actor/intellectual in the modern world. In an exchange of letters with her dissertation adviser, Karl Jaspers, Arendt explained: She was not trying to reify the “fate of Jews” by rooting Rahel in determinism of social condition and inheritance. Her work, instead, was a “preliminary” effort to indicate that a “certain possibility” which she “tentatively” called “fatefulness,” emerges in the process of conscious distancing from Jewish identity in order to recapture it more fully. It is the historical givenness of the Jewish people, which can be objectified so that it can be understood and reappropriated. This fatefulness . can occur only in a separation from Judaism.... An objectification is in fact there in a certain sense, but not an objectification of Jewish experience ..

Thinking Beyond Philosophy: Hannah Arendt and the Weimar Hermeneutic Connections
TRAMES, 2014, 18(68/63), 4, 307–325 THINKING BEYOND PHILOSOPHY: HANNAH ARENDT AND THE WEIMAR HERMENEUTIC CONNECTIONS Liisi Keedus University of Tartu Abstract. While there is increasing interest among Hannah Arendt’s readers in the ways in which her political ideas can be traced back thematically to Weimar influences, there are only fleeting reflections on the junctions between her famously unorthodox approach to political philosophy and the hermeneutic revolts of her youth. The present paper will explore some of these connections, arguing that the theoretical-methodological background of Arendt’s youth shaped her approach to what she later formulated as the basic predica- ments of political modernity. In this context, I read Arendt’s early work in genealogical conjunction with the writings of Friedrich Gundolf, her literature teacher. It was particularly Gundolf’s critique of Romanticism that became relevant for Arendt’s work on Rahel Varnhagen, a Jewish hostess of a Berlin salon in the age of Romanticism. This link is not merely interesting, especially in the light of Arendt’s life-long passion for literature and weaving elements of it into her political theory. More importantly, it constitutes a crucial episode in the conceptual evolvement of her critique of political modernity, and as such, in the genesis of her theory of politics. Keywords: Hannah Arendt, Friedrich Gundolf, Rahel Varnhagen, Romanticism, inter-war critique of modernity, anti-historicism, Weimar intellectual history, dialectical theology DOI: 10.3176/tr.2014.4.01 1. Introduction “I was interested neither in history nor in politics when I was young,” claimed Hannah Arendt retrospectively in a letter to Gershom Scholem, a German-born scholar of Jewish mysticism.

Hannah Arendt Conference Vil
WHAT IS POLITICS? A CONFERENCE ON HANNAH ARENDT November 9th and 10th, 2013 at Villa Aurora & Skirball Cultural Center Organized by Villa Aurora in cooperation with The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College, Annandale on Hudson The German-Jewish-American thinker Hannah Arendt, born in Han- The time is nover, exiled to Paris and later to New York, dedicated her work to out of joint, the reinvention of the public realm and to freedom in political ac- tion. When she died in 1975, The New Yorker wrote in its obituary: oh cursed spite, “Some days ago Hannah Arendt died, at the age of sixty-nine. We that ever felt a tremor, as if some counterweight to all the world’s unreason I was born and corruption had been removed.” to set it right. Arendt, who had learned to think with Martin Heidegger, Plato, Kurt - William Shakespeare Blumenfeld, Rosa Luxemburg, Immanuel Kant, Rahel Varnhagen, Karl Jaspers and Walter Benjamin was expelled from Germany in 1933 and from Europe in 1940. She found her way into the Anglo-Amer- ican world through her dialog with thinkers and poets like Henry David Thoreau, Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson and W.H. Auden. The early experience of worldlessness that totalitarian movements press upon every human being threatened her and later formed her work; it also underlies the specific urgency of her question: Can we succeed in reconsti- tuting a world that is “out of joint,” is it possible “to set it right,” and might we find new ways of human involvement in the unfolding of the world? Arendt’s work confronted race violence, discrimination, the experience of revolution, of town councils, and other forms of direct political represen- tation.

Additionally I am very grateful to the McGill University Arts Graduate Travel Grant and Media@McGill for funding conferences in which parts of this project were tested. I am also grateful for helpful feedback from Dr. Morris Kaplan, who inducted me into the life of the mind and demonstrated that Arendt could be read against common reception, and Dr. Steven Gold, who helped me focus, in so far as that is possible. Much of the initial drafting of this thesis took place in the small Italian village of Pisciotta, due in no small part to the continued generosity of the Marcoccia family. Of course I thank my family for supporting me over the years even when they didn‘t understand what I was up to. And to Pia, for her loving support throughout a long writing process that left me more distracted than I would have liked.
