Contenuto del corso: Understanding and Communicating Evil in the Age of Mass Communication: Arendt in Jerusalem.
The course will analyze Hannah Arendt’s famous reportage on the trial of the nazist criminal Adolph Eichmann, which took place in Jerusalem in 1961. Some key issues thematized will be: the nature of nazi totalitarianism (how was genocide prepared and realized, what had been the role of the civilian population, bureaucratization of the extermination, ‘banality’ of the executioners and so on); the role of international criminal justice (Nurnberg trial, issue of the crimes against humanity, anomaly of the Eichmann trial, human rights issue then and today, efficacy of international criminal justice today). Furthermore, the course aims at analyzing Arendt’s reportage as an example of ‘philosophical-political journalism’, highlighting the dilemmas inherent in the mass-mediatic communication of complex concepts. Audiovisual material will integrate the analysis of texts.
