Politics on society of knowledge

The article is intended to discuss the dilemmas and possibilities of the politics in the existing models of society. The notion of network society introduced by Manuel Castels and the concepts of totalitarianism and action conceived by Hannah Arendt will ground the theoretical work present here. It will approach the implications of the Jewish Question in the arendtian political theory. In this theory rises an agonic perspective of the power, that is, the power is not a place for anonyms forces, systemics, reproducers of the status quo, but of the foundation, resistance, civility and disclosure of the men as agent. The Hannah Arendt's thought is important to help us to access the practices that replace, in this society of knowledge, the original significance of the politics.
