When “Things Fall Apart”: Thinking Through Absurdity with Arendt and Aseyev
Published 2024-10-01“…War often occasions such moments, not just because of the moral and political turmoil that accompanies it or the physical damage it inflicts upon people and their environments, but also because of its absurdity; this latter feature, the absurdity of war, is captured by Stanislav Aseyev, a Donetsk-born Ukrainian writer, in his books In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas and The Torture Camp on Paradise Street. In this essay, I argue that Aseyev’s reflections on Russian occupation, imprisonment, and torture demonstrate both the special value of Arendt’s “thinking” for those enduring war and violence and reveal a pre-moral-political capacity of “thinking” latent but never explicit in Arendt’s work: the power to cope with the absurd qua absurd.…”

(Des)memória e catástrofe: considerações sobre a literatura pós-golpe de 1964
Published 2014-01-01“…In this context, the stories – told by many authors and some of the survivors of repression – seem to play an important role in supplying the deficiencies of the History, in order to show, effectively even if through fiction, the nefas that characterized in particular torture and murder of opponents. The status of literature – his ability to say what is forbidden to historiography, the possibility of recreating the real through imagination – drove, in fact, many writers to witness the horror and violence that marked the regime established in Brazil fifty years ago, even giving us the “physical” representation of pain and blood generated by a power acting in a “state of exception”.…”

From Ascetic Ideals to Honest Illusions: A Nietzschean Interpretation of Inception
Published 2025-02-01“…Mal's tragic death has turned Cobb into an ascetic idealist who paradoxically resorts to self-torture to alleviate his pain and suffering.
