| Sumario: | ***“Crimes that can’t be punished or forgiven” – Thinking with Hannah Arendt, in the debate about the recent past in Argentina***The paper focuses on a sentence often repeated by Hannah Arendt, stating “crimes we can neither punish nor forgive”, and discusses the use made of this sentence in debates on recent history in Argentina, where it is repeated as a slogan which should make all thinking about forgiveness impossible. The paper tracks the different manifestations of this sentence through Arendt’s work, and argues that with the changes Arendt introduces in her reflection on evil, the way we should reflect on the relationship between evil, punishment and forgiveness ought to be modified as well. |
