Hannah Arendt, David Rousset, and the Imagination of Living Death
The figure of the living corpse stands at the center of Hannah Arendt’s analysis of the Nazi concentration camps. This article uncovers how Arendt’s understanding of living death was indebted to her reading and translations of David Rousset’s Les jours de notre mort (1947). Positioning Arendt as a secondary witness who sought to mediate survivor testimony to the unscathed, it shows how Rousset’s book was central to Arendt’s effort to inspire a fe…
Orientation in pictures
This article applies insights from picture theory (W. J. T.

In its insistence on the fundamental historicity of its objects—of both the figure and its fulfillment—it carries forth the historicist paradigms of Giambattista Vico and G. W. F. Hegel, yet in its assertion of figural relations that traverse the historical continuum beyond historical causation, f…
