The Nameless Heritage of the Résistance

Wolfgang Heuer ; Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

Abstract

The author is analyzing the significance of the Résistance as one of the 'hidden traditions' of European history. Invoking pre-WWII debates on pan-Europeanism and Hannah Arendt's political theory, the author argues that the heritage of the Résistance is divided between the preserved idea of a united Europe and a lost ideal of the politics of spontaneity, councils and deep reforms of European politics and economy.
