Abstract: In a series of essays published in the 1940s, Hannah Arendt came out against the political position adopted at the time by the Zionist movement, the demand to establish Palestine as an independent Jewish state. Instead, Arendt supported a federation based on national and civic equality between Jews and Arabs. The essay examines Arendt's analysis of Zionism and her objection to the Jewish state as part of her notions of "Jewish politics" and "Jewish peoplehood," which emerged in parallel with her monumental project, The Origins of Totalitarianism . Her "bi-national" approach is therefore viewed as the conclusion of her general understanding of anti-Semitism, the nation-state, and imperialism. This essay seeks to reintroduce Arendt's political observations into current debates as a resource for decolonizing Jewish identity.

Abstract: This study asserts that second person point of view functions as a distinct category of point of view, which has been discounted by critical theorists. Second person point of view is defined in this study as a particular use of the second person pronoun. The "you" in second person point of view texts generates an alternating pattern of identification and displacement that constructs an intersubjectivity among narrative elements—narrator, actant, and narratee(s). Therefore, common uses of the "you" to refer only to the reader (narratee) of a text or to the actant in a text do not constitute second person point of view texts. The theory of second person point of view developed in this study argues that second person point of view issues challenges to traditional concepts of narrative subjectivity and authority. The rejection of the traditional sign of subjectivity and authority—the stated or implied " I " — combined with the proposition of an alternative—the multiple "you"—expresses the particular challenges of second person point of view. The challenges to narrative subjectivity and authority issued by second person point of view indicate the postmodern impulse of second person point of view. By exposing, undermining, and revising traditional concepts of
