Inspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang Heuer addresses exemplary aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics - and thus of freedom - in 20 essays. He argues that politics can recover, if it is based on personal responsibility in the political realm, in civil society, and even under dictatorial conditions; if the pictorial and emotional conditions of successful judgement are understood; if human plurality is given its specific political organisational form; and, finally, if sustainability is understood as a principle of action, not only towards nature but also towards politics and society.

Politics of Atrocity
On the Genealogy of Structural Violence in Argentina

The terror of Argentina's last military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, with an estimated 30,000 people murdered, is one of a series of violent conflicts that have taken every known form since independence from Spain in 1825: civil wars, dictatorships and genocide of the indigenous population. They are accompanied by a culture of violence and cruelty and reinforce social inequality, weakness and corruption in state institutions. Wolfgang R. Heuer tells the story of political violence in Argentina in short episodes, including early observations of genocide, metaphors of failure in literature, and the reasons for the failure of the Montoneros urban guerrilla movement. This shows that violence and anarchy, in the sense of weak politics, reinforce each other.
