    And where is the essay? My Italian is slightly better than Arendt\’s… but I\’ve never seen it in the archives!

  2. Joshua A. Miller Says:

    Hmm… there’s a big swath of on-site only material right after Arendt’s reply. I’ll check it out the next time I’m in the manuscript reading room.

  3. JackT Says:

    Perhaps is this:

    “Sui limiti della violenza», in Nuovi argomenti, no 17, 1970, pp. 154-173

  4. Hannes Says:

    Yes, JackT, it is indeed this essay. In a later revision of “On Violence”, Arendt even mentions Agamben’s text in a footnote (last paragraph of section I of her book, in my German copy it is footnote 44a).
