Resumen
En este artículo me propongo restituir ciertas ambigüedades en los análisis que Hannah Arendt realiza de un conjunto de acontecimientos atravesados por la violencia. Aunque la autora explicita una concepción de la violencia como un medio para un fin extrínseco, busco identificar en su obra las reflexiones que problematizan esa dimensión instrumental y se orientan a interrogar el sentido de la experiencia violenta. Con este objetivo, a) partiré de la diferencia que establece Arendt en ¿Que es la política? entre el sentido y el fin de toda actividad; b) recorreré los análisis de la autora sobre distintos fenómenos vinculados a la violencia, mostrando que allí la violencia no sólo resulta un medio para un fin, sino una experiencia común que lo excede; c) indicaré que ese exceso podría ligarse al sentido, y que podría comprenderse como un lazo específico; y d) sugeriré la potencialidad de esta lectura para iluminar la densidad de los acontecimientos violentos contemporáneos.
In this article I intend to elucidate certain ambiguities in Hannah Arendt's analyzes of some events permeated by violence. Although the author explicitly understands violence as a means to an extrinsic end, I seek to identify in her work the reflections that problematize such instrumental understanding of violence and are aimed to apprehend the meaning of violent experiences. In order to fulfill this objective, a) I will start from the difference established by Arendt in Introduction into politics between the meaning and the end of all activity; b) I will explore the author's analysis of different phenomena linked to violence, showing that violence is not only a means to an end, but a common experience that exceeds it; c) I will indicate that this excess could be linked to meaning, and that it could be understood as a specific bond; and d) I will suggest the potential of such reading to illuminate the density of contemporary violent events.
