La idea arendtiana de elementos totalitarios tras la derrota de los totalitarismos

Abstract

[EN] Arendt's lucidity in describing the novelty of totalitarianism should not obscure the thinker's judgment that, after the military or political defeat of Nazism and Stalinism, factors persist in the contemporary world that can lead to heterogeneous crystallizations of totalitarian phenomena. There are at least three circles of situations in which Arendt seems to detect potentially totalitarian elements: the warlike use of nuclear energy; the power of contemporary science-technology to redirect natural processes on and against the Earth; the persistence of extreme forms of oppression and misery, tempting to "totalitarian solutions". As the reverse of the origins analyzed in the great work of 1951, they would be factors given in the present and operable in an uncertain future, which, however, keep intrinsic analogies with the formulas more typical of the totalitarian phenomenon: “everything is possible-everything is necessary-everything is recreable”. In scattered places in her work Arendt alludes to each of these circles and their connections, which would show how totalitarianism is not an archived event. KEYWORDS: Postotalitarian elements, war, technology, oppression.

[ES] La lucidez de Arendt a la hora de describir la novedad del totalitarismo no debe ocultar el juicio de la pensadora de que, tras la derrota militar o política de nazismo y estalinismo, perduran en el mundo contemporáneo factores que pueden conducir a cristalizaciones heterogéneas de fenómenos totalitarios. Hay al menos tres círculos de situaciones en que Arendt parece detectar elementos potencialmente totalitarios: el uso bélico de la energía nuclear; el poder de la ciencia-técnica contemporánea para redirigir procesos naturales sobre la Tierra y contra ella; la pervivencia de formas de opresión y miseria extremas, que tienten a “soluciones totalitarias”. Como a la inversade los orígenes analizados en la gran obra de 1951, serían factores dados en el presente y operables en un futuro incierto, que, sin embargo, guardan analogías intrínsecas con las fórmulas más propias del fenómeno totalitario: “todo es posible-todo es necesario-todo es recreable”. En lugares dispersos de su obra alude Arendt a cada uno de esos círculos y a sus conexiones, lo que mostraría cómo el totalitarismo no es un acontecimiento archivable.
