Claudia Hilb

She is a Professor of Political Theory at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and principal investigator of Conicet. Between 1974 and 1976 he was a law student at the UBA, where he began to serve in organizations of the revolutionary left. In late 1976, at the age of 21, he left for France, where he studied sociology, political science, and political philosophy. The experience of exile, the contact with another way of "being left", her studies and her encounters led her to try to rethink, in different ways, the political practice of a large part of her generation, which embraced the idea of ​​a revolution to the one that could be arrived at through violence. Since then, his interests have been divided between modern and contemporary political theory (in particular, the work of Hannah Arendt, Claude Lefort and Leo Strauss), and the interrogation, nurtured by that theoretical-political gaze, of the recent past in Argentina, of the relationship between violence, politics and life in common, and the way we deal with that recent past.
