Abstract

This paper examines the reception of Hannah Arendt’s thought in feminist theory. Focusing specifically on readings about the problems of the social question and of the body, which are closely linked. Traditionally, Arendt has been read as a “nostalgic for the polis” and thus criticized as elitist and for providing continuity to patriarchal thought. However, the increasing complexity of feminist currents together with a more sophisticated reading of her concepts has finally allowed a novel reading of Arendt as providing a way to rethink the public sphere and the question of identity.
