- W848602560 abstract "This thesis analyses the fabled public exchange of letters that occurred betweenpolitical theorist Hannah Arendt and historian of Jewish religion Gershom Scholem in1964 following the historic trial of Adolf Eichmann and Arendt's subsequentpublication of her report of the event, Eichmann in Jerusalem. The thesis covers thehistorical issues that form the contextual background to the exchange. It involves theintroduction of the two participants as defining Jewish intellectuals of the pastcentury, the course of the trial itself and the political and ideological problems itentailed as well as the turbulent history of the reception of Arendt's book. It is downto these four factors that guaranteed the eminence of the exchange of letters analysedin the thesis. Oft-quoted as the exchange is, there has been no proper analysis of it tothis date. To accomplish this task, the thesis adopts the theoretical-methodologicalframework of discourse analysis in general, and the version of rhetorically orienteddiscursive psychology, proposed mainly in the publications of Potter and Wetherell(1987) and Billig (1996}, in particular. This approach allows the thesis to provide afine-grained analysis of the various ways of textual construction. Firstly, the waysexamined concern the significance, worth and value of the debate itself, as formulatedby both of the participants. Secondly, they involve the construction of the attempt toestablish definite versions of the content of the book. Thirdly, they cover the textualacts of accounting for that content, or the practice of misinterpretation of that content,respectively. What all these three aspects have in common is the positioning of theproblems touched upon in a moral and political context, and ultimately approachingthem in terms of the identities of the participants. In this sense, versions of the eventsand ways of accounting for it will not only aim at producing accurate descriptions ofevents but in the forms of an implied morality or politics an implied action-plan forthe future as well. The construction of Arendt and Scholem is, hence, analysed interms of its argumentative organisation in order to undermine the other's counterversionand to establish its own as the definite one. While, structurally, there are manysimilarities in the two letters, what distinguishes them is that they conceive of theirobjects (i.e. the text), subject positions, and political or moral values according towhich they should be assessed in quite diametrically opposite ways. This thesis notonly registers the various rhetorical ways the participants fashion their versions asdefinite ones, but also accounts for the differences in their contents." @default.
