"I merely Belong to Them". Hannah Arendt, The Jewish Writings Authors Judith Butler University of California, Berkeley Anne Marie Poelen (trad.) Centre Dona i Literatura, Universitat de Barcelona Keywords: Judaism, belonging, nationalism, Zionism, stateless people Abstract The text Hannah Arendt devoted to Judaism, centered on topics like the homeland and nationalism, cultural belonging and the question of stateless people, are exhibitions of paradoxes rather than close texts. Skeptical about both assimilationism and Zionism, Arendt defends the secularization of politics while she dismantle the logics of the state-nation, as, to her, the common history of exile and dispossession sets the path for the union of Jews and Palestinians, of inmigrants and stateless people, and enables Jewish thought about the concept of justice.
