Abstract
¿Tiene sentido hablar del perdón político en el Siglo XXI? Sostenemos que es posible reivindicar
un sentido del político del perdón que ha sido eclipsado por leyes de amnistía en las últimas
décadas en Latinoamérica y que constituyen, a nuestro juicio, un abuso del perdón. A partir de
las reflexiones de Hannah Arendt y Jacques Derrida sobre el perdón, y aplicando postulados de
la teoría de los actos de habla de J. L. Austin y J. Searle, se propone rescatar un sentido del
perdón político que se diferencia sustantivamente de la amnistía. Para ello, se identifican las
condiciones procedimentales y contextuales que posibilitan que el perdón contribuya a un acto
de verdadera reconciliación política.
Does it make sense to talk about political forgiveness in the 21st century? Throughout this paper we maintain that it is possible to claim a political sense of forgiveness that, in practice, has been overshadowed by the various amnesty laws implemented in recent decades in the Latin American context that constitute a misuse of forgiveness. Based on the reflections of Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida on forgiveness, in conjunction with the postulates of J. L. Austin and J. Searle’s speech act theories, we acknowledge a sense of political forgiveness that substantially differs from amnesty. In order to do this, we identify both procedural and contextual conditions that must be taken into consideration. When these conditions are met, forgiveness can be regarded to be an act of true political reconciliation.
