In this chapter Hirvonen and Lindroos-Hovinheimo argue that the revolutionary power of constituent power and popular sovereignty are relevant conditions of radical emancipatory and egalitarian politics. How the people become the people – and what makes the people in its becoming – are relevant questions in modern democracy. The article considers the power of the people as a theoretical idea and political possibility. It brings together the older tradition of political philosophy with contemporary theory by discussing Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s ideas together with those of Jacques Rancière, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Alain Badiou.

The Voice

This article stages the silent adventure of watching theatre about Singapore Malays and reading Jacques Rancière in Singapore. The argument blurs the real and the fictional, the voice of the author with the voice of the spectator, Rancière’s voice with the silence of Maya Raisha, a Malay-Muslim girl.  In doing so, the piece seeks to evidence that as a consequence of the regulatory nature of performance in Singapore, more than creating a moment of disruption against the normative sphere, silence evidences the instrumentality that ‘speaking up’ has in the normativity of the city-state. The piece is written as the performative chronicle of an intellectual adventure that took place between 2012 and 2013, when alongside reading Rancière’s work in detail, the author moved to Singapore and watched Teater Ekamatra’s Not Counted (2012) and The Necessary Stage’s Best Of (2012-3).

En el presente artículo se reflexionará sobre las estrategias políticas de lo popular y su relación con la democracia. A partir de un diálogo crítico entre Ernesto Laclau y Jacques Rancière, se proponen dos estrategias que permitan comprender la constitución de lo popular como sujeto político. En la primera estrategia ranceriana, tanto la reestructuración del espacio público como la reapropiación de ciertos dispositivos estatales instituyen al pueblo como actor político. Sin embargo, esta reapropiación no significa la inclusión del sujeto popular a las dinámicas estatales, sino un ensanchamiento del sentido de estos dispositivos a partir de la emergencia de los sujetos políticos. En la segunda estrategia laclausiana populista, la articulación de múltiples demandas a partir de los significantes vacíos y del antagonismo político sugiere la posibilidad de pensar una amplia reconfiguración de las complejas dimensiones de lo estatal, sin que esto suponga una completa reducción de lo popular a lo estatal. Esta última estrategia abre también la posibilidad de pensar lo republicano en clave popular. Ambas estrategias, a pesar de sus distinciones, buscan centralmente la ampliación de la democracia desde una dirección política y popular. In this article are stated the political strategies of the popular and their relationship with democracy. Based on a critical dialogue between Ernesto Laclau and Jacques Rancière, two dynamics from which the popular is constituted as a political subject are proposed. In the first Rancerian strategy, the restructuring of public space and the re-appropriation of certain state devices institute the people as a political actor. However, this re-appropriation does not mean total inclusion of the popular subject to state dynamics, but instead a broadening of the meaning of these devices and a greater distance between the popular and the state. In the second populist Laclausian strategy, the articulation of multiple demands based on empty signifiers and political antagonism suggests the possibility of thinking of a wide reconfiguration of the complex dimensions of the state, without this implying a complete reduction of the Popular to the state. This last strategy also opens up the possibility of thinking the Republic in a popular way. Both strategies centrally seek the expansion of democracy from a political and popular direction

This essay is an attempt to think ‘mobile peoples’ as a political concept. I consider mobile peoples as a norm rather than an exception and as political subjects rather than subject peoples. After discussing the tension between ‘mobile’ and ‘peoples’, I draw on Ian Hacking’s historical ontology for understanding how <em>a</em> people comes to be. For understanding how <em>the</em> people comes to be, or rather, how the tension between a people that constitutes itself as a whole and those peoples that remain as residual parts, I draw on Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, and Ernesto Laclau as authors who identified this tension as a fundamental problem of ‘Western’ political thought. Yet, their inattention to <em>territory</em> draws me to James Scott whose work on early states challenges how we have come to understand the people as <em>sedentary</em> in the first place. His account of how ‘barbarians’ (mobile peoples) came to be seen as a threat to sedentary peoples enables us to understand that tension. Then a path opens toward thinking about mobile peoples as a political concept.

A partir de uma reflexão sobre a Praça do Povo (Brasília – DF) e da Praça do Cidadão (Ceilândia – DF), o artigo pretende fazer associações entre os saberes filosóficos, sociais e arquitetônicos que se unem na compreensão da produção de subjetividades das intervenções artísticas. O aporte teórico da “partilha do sensível”, de Jacques Rancière, nos ajuda a pensar sobre um conjunto comum partilhado pela via dos afetos. Como metodologia, utilizamos uma cartografia social que abrange o conceito de corpo, proposto pela filosofia de Spinoza, e assim vemos como resultado a tomada de consciência do espaço público no tecido urbano que pertence à população, e não à esfera privada. As praças mencionadas, neste sentido, são pensadas como um lugar de encontro proporcionado pela atuação deste espaço público em decorrência das interações entre as pessoas e o meio urbano.Palavra-chave: Afeto. Espaço urbano. Praça do Povo. Praça do Cidadão. Subjetividades.  MEETING PLACE IN PUBLIC SQUARES ON THE FEDERAL DISTRICT: THE ARTISTIC INTERVENTIONS BY AFFECTIONS Abstract: Through the analysis about the People Square (Brasília) and Citizen Square (Ceilândia), the article has been associating with Philosophy, Social Studies and Architecture knowledge to understand the production of subjectivities for artistics intervention. The theoretical contribution is related to an idea of “distribution of the sensitive” of Jacques Rancière to think of a common set shared by means of affection. As methodology we have used Social Cartography to include the idea about the body proposed by Spinoza Philosophy. Then, as a result, to be aware of public space as urban fabric that belongs to the population and not to the private sphere. The squares mentioned are thought of as a meeting place provided by the performance of this public space by interactions between people and the urban environment.Key words: Affection. Urban space. People square. Citizen Square. Subjectivities.

Traditional Understanding

This paper aims to discuss the problem of aesthetic in modern Indonesian literature in its relation with the politic. In contrast with the traditional understanding of the aesthetic and politic, this paper offers an alternative perspective abstracted by the French aesthetic philosopher, Jacques Rancière, to look into five problems concerning this matter. First, the mechanism of inclusion/exclusion in defining the aesthetic in relation to politic. This problem leads to the second, that is the definition of aesthetic as a distribution of sensibility which consists of the visible, the intelligible, and the possible where the main goal is to shatter the social hierarchy. In addition to this, the definition of revolutionary works relies not on the engagement of the artist into the political field, but on the succeed to bridging the hierarchical migration. Moreover, the presumption of equality as the foundation of the revolutionary in aesthetic, thus a popular work does not always consider as such. And finally, art as an act for the people to position themselves in participating in the polis, thus the idea of literacy is a very important instrument to make sure the subject to emancipate. By considering these problems, the question of when is the birth of modern Indonesian literature needs to be re-assessed.
