Something New on the Western Front

Faced with the spread of the populist right in Italy and Europe, this article proposes, as part of the Great Diotima Seminar 2018 “Sbilanciamoci dalla parte della politica delle donne” a philosophical reading of the phenomenon through the works of Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt and Jean-Luc Nancy.

Three authors and three imbalances towards the politics of sexual difference can open up a path that grounds narrative in experience and re-roots political discourse in reality.
