The reconstruction of her approach to "statelessness" should guide a reflection on the contemporary relationship among national territory, rights and illegality. This analysis shall be based around two Arendtian terms: <em>nomos</em> and <em>natality</em>. I shall address the following questions: how does Arendt address statelessness? How is the relationship between human rights and the banishment of people outside the space of the nation-state being justified? Under which criteria is the territorial enclosure being legitimized? Could the Arendtian category of "stateless" be interpreted as a political, an apolitical, or rather a depoliticized human condition?</p> ER -
