This work develops an opportunity for transgressive resistance to discursively formed structures of material and theoretical power and closure, based on a methodology of amateurism. The concept of amateurism draws heavily on the writing of Edward Said. This work synthesises Said with a broader corpus of postcolonial theory, following a theoretically postcolonial trajectory which applies the lessons from that referent to an engagement with traditional theoretical and cultural closure. The central thesis of the engagement follows a critique of strong ontology and vertical epistemology, or of expertise. Through an examination of health policy around birth, and sociological approaches to health, that critique is deployed to invigorate a new critical direction for the Left with a focus on subjectivity, social policy, social democracy and substantive citizenship. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2008

A distinção entre poder e violência constitui-se, pois, em tema central do pensamento político da autora, que teve como motivação para sua reflexão a Rebelião Estudantil de 1968, a guerra do Vietnã e o papel da violência no âmbito da Nova Esquerda. Com efeito, o poder, para Arendt, é inerente a toda comunidade política e resulta da capacidade de agir conjuntamente. Por outro lado, a violência, que é instrumental, se funda na categoria meio-fim, e quando recobrada no âmbito do político é responsável por fazer desaparecer o poder. Portanto, poder e violência são assuntos opostos: quando um se afirma absoluto, o outro desaparece. Do contato com o pensamento de Arendt, percebemos que seu conceito de poder foi forjado tendo como referência a tradição da polis grega, a qual, no entendimento de Arendt, lança luzes sobre a derrocada dos valores da política moderna, bem como sobre a necessidade de resgatar a diferença entre as esferas pública e privada para fazer emergir o fenômeno originariamente político. Confrontando suas idéias com as de outros autores, consideramos que a análise de Arendt sobre o poder transcende completamente as relações conflituosas constitutivas da vida política e suas instituições tradicionais. Além disso, a rejeição da ação radical da Nova Esquerda, por esta autora, em grande medida parece engrossar o coro que recusa e rechaça a utopia, que significa, no contexto do “fim da ideologia”, a negação da perspectiva socialista em favor, mais uma vez, da “democracia” e do “pluralismo” norte-americanos. / The aim of this paper is to analyze the reflexion undertaken by Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) on the phenomena of power and violence as well as her critique of the New Left, which is presented systematically in her essay On Violence (1969). The distinction between power and violence thus comprises a central theme in her political thought, which has had as a motivation for her reflexion the Student Rebellion of 1968, the Vietnam war and the role of violence within the New Left. Indeed, the power, on Arendt's account, is inherent to every political community and it is a result of the ability to act jointly. Furthermore, the violence, that is instrumental, is based upon the means-end category and whenever stablished within the political sphere becomes responsible for causing the power to vanish. Therefore, power and violence are opposite subjects: as one becomes absolute, the other vanishes. By being in touch with Arendt's thinking we come to realize that her innovative concept of power has been forged having as reference the tradition of Greek polis, which, from Arendt's understanding, casts light on the defeat of the values of the modern Politics, as well as on the need of restoring the difference between public and private spheres to cause the originally political phenomenom to emerge. By putting her thoughts with those of other authors, we consider that Arednt's analysis of power goes completely beyond the conflicting constituents of political life and its traditional institutions. Moreover, the rejection of the extreme action of the New Left, by the author, largely seems to reinforce the chorus that refuses and rejects the utopia, which means, in the end of ideology context, the negation of the socialist perspective in behalf, once again, of the American democracy and pluralism.

Trata-se de entender em que medida essa revolução influenciou o debate ideológico dos comunistas brasileiros e quais os desdobramentos para as suas formulações teóricas e prática política. A conclusão geral é a de que o processo revolucionário cubano esteve presente, sobretudo, no debate a respeito da definição da luta armada contra a ditadura militar e na adoção da bandeira do socialismo por uma parte dessa esquerda. Foi importante ainda na crise que se abateu após 1964 sobre as organizações que já existiam antes do golpe militar, que vieram a se fragmentar e dar origem a diversos grupos da Esquerda Revolucionária / Abstract: The main objective of the present thesis is to analyze the relationships between the Brazilian communist leftist movements and the Cuban revolution between 1959 and 1974. We aim at understanding how far that revolution influenced the ideological debate of the Brazilian communists and the consequences for its theoretical formulations and the political practice. The general conclusion is that the Cuban revolutionary process was mainly present in the debate on the definition of the armed resistance to the military dictatorship and the adoption of socialism by a part of that leftist movement. It was further important during the crisis that took place after 1964 among those organizations that had existed before the military coup, which then fragmented and gave birth to several groups of the Revolutionary Left / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História

[pt] O trabalho analisa as diferenças e semelhanças entre os conflitos geracionais em grupos de esquerda provenientes dos EUA e da Argentina durante os longos anos 1960. O estudo percebe que há aspectos comuns que levaram à ruptura entre as gerações à esquerda do espectro político em ambos contextos, como por exemplo, a relação das vertentes geracionais com as organizações de trabalhadores e com o Bloco Socialista. / [en] The text analyzes the differences and similarities among generational conflicts in groups on the left from the USA and Argentina during the long 1960s. The study notes there are common aspects which brought to the rupture between the generations on the left on the left of the political spectrum in both contexts, such as, for example, the generational groups relation with workers organizations and with the Socialist Bloc.
