If only the symbolic elite didn't hate the people and democracy because they know a democratic system would threaten their position, we wouldn't be here today

regarder comment un couple "historique" fonctionne, et revenir vers le présent avec une autre image du couple, de Durkheim, du travail intellectuel, des trajectoires et expériences sociales des intellectuels... Rancière rappelle que l'accusation d'anachronisme sert surtout à ne pas voir les

Ce qui est beau dans la réflexion de Rancière, c'est qu'au lieu de condamner l'anachronisme, il en fait au contraire, le moteur de l'histoire :

C’est formidable quand des gens, dont c’est le métier ou non, parviennent à s’emparer de textes exigeants, certains allant jusqu’à sacrifier leur temps de sommeil, à l’image de la « nuit des prolétaires » de Rancière.
Mais il y a des obstacles concrets et structurels à cela y compris aujourd’hui…

Para Jacques Rancière, o dissenso político é o coração da democracia, não o consenso, pois a política nasce da perturbação da ordem estabelecida (a "polícia") por aqueles que são "sem-parte" (os que não têm voz no sistema). É o desentendimento que permite questionar a distribuição do sensível.

Well my 3 year old is currently neck deep in Ranciére and asked me in the sweetest baby voice, "Dearest parent, how much should we take the Algerian context into account when we try to understand the political theories of twentieth century French continental philosophers?"
My 3 year old is reading Foucault and asked me, tears in his eyes, "why is power in society only reified through force and surveillance?"
I told him to read more Fanon

Ik ben het hier grotendeels eens met iets dat ik in Arendt en Rancière meen te lezen (expliciet bij Martin Breaugh, Andreas Kalyvas): er is een nagenoeg onoplosbare spanning tussen de openheid en spontaniteit van democratie en de onvermijdelijke wens er een duurzame institutionele vorm aan te geven.

Me the first text that really hit me in this vein was Ways of Seeing by Jon Berger and the one that was the most important to me was The Emancipated Spectator by Jacques Ranciere. I ❤️ ranciere.

Kirjoitin yhden kurssiesseen Rancièren joistain ajatuksista aikoinaan (melkein 20 vuotta sitten). Muistaakseni liittyi ajatuksiinsa historiasta ja narratiiveista ja jotain viisastelin suhteesta Hayden Whiten ajatteluun ja jonkun muun, jonka nimi ei palaa pikaisesti mieleen. Rancière on […]

Relatedly, I’ve been making my way through Nick’s Computing Taste book & realizing the main difference in our perspectives besides discipline is I understand taste thru Kant and Ranciere (and thus as specifically part of the philosophical project of classical liberalism) not Bourdieu

At the same time, inasmuch as metaphor can help us understand better, it is paradoxically determinant. In the way fiction can help us better understand reality. Or as Rancière put it, “The real must be fictionalized in order to be thought.”

My 2023 ‘Year-in-Review’; Books Edition — from top to bottom, these are the books I read in the order I read them this year. A lot of Lazzarato and Rancière, but also worked in classics like Play Between Worlds, Dark Matters, and Scenes of Subjection. Diamond’s Unmaking Mimesis was a surprise hit!

Hep bitmesine yakın denk geldiği için adını hatırlayamadığımdan bulamıyorum sanırım kayıtları. TV izlemeyi bıraktığımdan beri ender program ve yapımları takipte sürekliliği sağlayamıyorum. En son Badiou konuktu galiba. Bir ara Ranciere konuşmuştu. Güney koniden Vargas Llosa da çıkmıştı bir ara.

“Knowing the laws of a capitalist system does not by itself entail any energy to destroy it…What founds submission is not ignorance but mistrust: the feeling that there is no other possible world, that you’re not capable of building another world, or that others can’t do so.”—Rancière
