Hannah Arendt valued the unprecedented, the unexpected, and the new, yet in essays crafted at the end of the rebellious 1960s, struggled to square this valuation with a palpable desire for law and order. She lamented that criminality had overtaken American life, accused the police of not arresting enough criminals, and charged ‘the Negro community’ with standing behind what she named black violence. At once, she praised ‘the white rebels’ of the student movement in the United States for their courageous acts of disobedience. This essay explores how differential Arendt’s treatment of lawbreaking action was in an effort to understand how ‘certain sections of the population’ in the United States could appear to stand for criminality rather than civil disobedience to her mind. It examines how Arendt’s reflections on the ostensibly non-racial subjects of civil disobedience and lawbreaking were underwritten by racial, when not racist, ways of thinking. The essay also raises a larger question: to the extent that the concept of civil disobedience involves limits, how are those limits drawn to the exclusion of certain kinds of actors and their particular claims in the public realm? Pondering this question through Arendt, it concludes that in her theorization of civil disobedience, Arendt was profoundly limited by the fabulous tale that the United States is an exceptional land of freedom and democracy in the world.

反叛者与不服从者:对阿伦特、种族、违法的反思

汉娜·阿伦特 (Hannah Arendt) 重视前所未有的、意想不到的和新事物,但在 1960 年代末期创作的文章中,她努力将这种评价与对法律和秩序的明显渴望相平衡。她哀叹犯罪已经席卷了美国人的生活,指责警方没有逮捕足够多的罪犯,并指控“黑人社区”支持她所谓的黑人暴力。她立刻称赞美国学生运动中的“白人反叛者”勇敢的不服从行为。这篇文章探讨了阿伦特对违法行为的区别对待,以试图了解美国“某些人口群体”如何在她的脑海中代表犯罪而不是公民不服从。它考察了阿伦特对表面上非种族的公民不服从和违法主题的反思是如何被种族而非种族主义的思维方式所支持的。这篇文章还提出了一个更大的问题:就公民不服从的概念涉及限制而言,这些限制是如何排除某些类型的行为者及其在公共领域中的特定要求的?通过阿伦特思考这个问题,得出的结论是,在阿伦特的公民不服从理论中,美国是世界上自由和民主的特殊土地的神话故事深深地限制了阿伦特。这些限制是如何排除某些类型的行为者及其在公共领域的特殊要求的?通过阿伦特思考这个问题,得出的结论是,在阿伦特的公民不服从理论中,美国是世界上自由和民主的特殊土地的神话故事深深地限制了阿伦特。这些限制是如何排除某些类型的行为者及其在公共领域的特殊要求的?通过阿伦特思考这个问题,得出的结论是,在阿伦特的公民不服从理论中,美国是世界上自由和民主的特殊土地的神话故事深深地限制了阿伦特。
