Abstract
La instauración de un vínculo entre historia y poder es uno de los aspectos más interesantes del pensamiento político de la filósofa francesa Simone Weil. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, Weil desarrolla unas reflexiones en torno al concepto de historia, desde la perspectiva de los vencidos, que aproximan su especulación a la de su contemporáneo Walter Benjamin. La comparación con Benjamin permite acercar el pensamiento weiliano a las recientes teorías de la justicia anamnética y, más en general, a la exigencia actual de incorporar en el discurso político el punto de vista de las víctimas.
The restoration of a link between history and power is one of the most interesting aspects of Simone Weil’s political thought. During the first half of the 20th century, Weil developed reflections on the concept of history from the perspective of the vanquished. In this way, her thought comes close to that of her contemporary Walter Benjamin. Reading Weil together with Benjamin helps to point out a dialogue between Weil’s work and recent theories of anamnetic justice, as well as, more generally, the current move to incorporate the victims’ point of view into political discourse.
