Join us for a Lunchtime Talk with Hannah Arendt Center Doctoral Fellow, Ari-Elmeri Hyvonen, on March 3rd, 1pm, at the Hannah Arendt Center. Ari-Elmeri will discuss the role played by the idea of process in Arendt's critique of modern society, as it is articulated in different phases of her thinking, including the analysis of totalitarianism, idea of history, relationship between biology and politics, and interpretations of the revolutionary tradition. He will also explain how focusing on this aspect helps us to make sense of contemporary politics.
Ari-Elmeri Hyvönen is a PhD candidate in Politics at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. He received his Master of Social Sciences from the University of Tampere, Finland (2012). From 2012-2014, he worked as a visiting researcher at Tampere Peace Research Institute. His current research focuses on the worldly and temporal aspects of Arendt's thought as well as its relevance in the contemporary context-both political and theoretical. In addition to Arendt, he has written on American pragmatism, external perceptions of the Arab Spring, and 'resilience' in security-political thinking. His publications include: "Tentative Lessons of Experience: Arendt, Essayism, and 'the Social' Reconcidered" (Political Theory 42:5, 2014), "From Event to Process: The EU and the Arab Spring" (in della Porta and Mattoni, eds., Spreading Protest: Social Movements in Times of Crisis, ECPR Press 2014), as well as several articles and essays in Finnish.
