Gordon's appropriation of Arendt is instructive in its contrast with the way in which Arendt has been taken up by postmodern political theorists like Susan Bickford, Lisa Disch, Bonnie Honig and others.3 For these theorists, it is Arendt's performative and dialogic theses that are privileged at the expense of Arendt's concern with political evil and anti-political violence as the destruction of a common world where politics can first become possible.	cache/clogic-192716.pdf	txt/clogic-192716.txt
