Kritische Theorie

Die Polis ist tot, es lebe die kreative Stadt! Während die Stadt, zumindest in Teilen des städtischen Raums, blüht und gedeiht, scheint die Polis im idealisierten griechischen Sinn dem Untergang geweiht; in diesem Verständnis ist sie der Ort der öffentlichen politischen Auseinandersetzung und demokratischen Unterhandlung und somit eine Stätte (oft radikaler) Abweichung und Unstimmigkeit, an der die politische Subjektivierung buchstäblich ihren Platz hat. Diese Figur einer entpolitisierten (oder postpolitischen und postdemokratischen) Stadt im Spätkapitalismus bildet das Leitmotiv des vorliegenden Beitrags. Ich lehne mich dabei an Jacques Rancière, Slavoj Žižek, Chantal Mouffe, Mustafa Dikeç, Alain Badiou und andere Kritiker jenes zynischen Radikalismus an, der dafür gesorgt hat, dass eine kritische Theorie und eine radikale politische Praxis ohnmächtig und unfruchtbar vor jenen entpolitisierenden Gesten stehen, die in der polizeilichen Ordnung des zeitgenössischen neoliberalen Spätkapitalismus als Stadtentwicklungspolitik [urban policy] und städtische Politik [urban politics] gelten. Ziel meiner Intervention ist es, das Politische wieder in den Mittelpunkt der zeitgenössischen Debatten über das Urbane zu stellen. [...]

ABSTRACT The political philosophy of Jacques Rancière, with its concepts of aesthetics, dissensus and subjectivation, enables the analysis of the relation to matter perceived as waste. Is it possible to transform the latter by means of a technological art practice?RÉSUMÉ La philosophie politique de Jacques Rancière, avec ses concepts d’esthétique, de dissensus et de subjectivation, permet d’analyser la relation à la matière considérée comme déchet.

Occupy Movements

The Occupy movements in 2011 – this essay focuses mainly on Spain and the United States – have been more than moments of grassroots or direct democracy: they have been collective political practices testing forms of non-representationist democracy in the Europe of representative democracy to an unusually great extent. The precarious subjects of post-Fordism rejected political representation, and at the same time they struggled for a ‘real’ democracy. This oxymoron between representation and democracy structures the political philosophy of Jacques Rancière and corresponds with his well-known distinction between police and politics. This is one of the reasons why his thinking is helpful to understand them as decidedly political ones. However, the assembly as one of the central topoi of theories of democracy plays no prominent role in Rancière’s political philosophy. In contrast to this, I focus on the central practice of the assemblies in the Occupy movements and develop a concept of presentist democracy.

Jacques Rancière é – nas palavras de Slavoj Žižek – um dos poucos autores na esquerda contemporânea dotados de conceptualizações consistentes. O propósito do presente trabalho é apresentar o teor de seu pensamento em escritos recentes, notadamente Desentendimento (Disagreement) e Ódio à democracia (Hatred of democracy), para então analisá-lo criticamente à luz da filosofia e da conceitografia arendtianas. Minha hipótese é que, apesar de Rancière apresentar uma teoria corajosa de democracia radical, ele é passível de crítica em três frentes principais: (I) suas conceptualizações são arbitrárias; (II) sua teoria transforma a ideia de política em algo meramente instrumental; e (III) Rancière interpreta a ideia do político em Arendt de forma exageradamente elitista

O ensaio procura promover o encontro entre dois dos mais relevantes projetos filosóficos do tempo presente: o do filósofo esloveno Slavoj Žižek, controverso pensador hegeliano-lacaniano marcado ao mesmo tempo pela densidade de suas obras sobre o idealismo alemão (à qual remeteremos aqui) e pelo caráter pop de suas intervenções sobre política e cultura contemporâneas, e o do francês Jacques Rancière, autor mais austero e nem por isso menos celebrado de diversas reflexões sobre os cruzamentos entre estética e política, e que evita explicitar uma linhagem de pensamento. Acreditamos ser possível, dessa forma, elencar alguns dos pontos centrais de uma continuação e reconstrução do pensamento crítico dialético no presente.

Film Aesthetics

In our paper we discuss the political aesthetics of Jacques Rancière, specially his writings on the documentaries of the French director Chris Marker. In a first section we give an introduction to Rancière’s political philosophy, which explains political acts in terms of seizing the word by those who have no share in our societies. Such a seizing of words reconfigures the discursive regimes that decide who can say what and under what conditions publicly. In a second section we will show how Rancière’s aesthetical writings discuss works of art in a similar way as agents of a transfiguration of orders of visibility or sight. This becomes clear, as our third section will argue, in Rancière’s film aesthetics, especially in his essays on Chris Marker. Markers movies (for instance Le Tombeau d'Alexandre) focus on and at the same time complicate the boundaries between documentary and fiction; they allow us to understand a reality which is supposedly without alternatives as a result of human practice which always can be changed.

May 68

This essay explores the original political significance of the posters of May ’68 as a critique of capitalism, as well as extending this approach to a critique of contemporary capitalism in 2020. The slogans of ’68 are deceptively simple and we look to the importance of the political ideas expressed aesthetically as having immediate impact in the late 1960s, but also the underlying Situationist philosophy which influenced them.We also explore the contemporary significance of Situationist theory, especially in the context of the renewal of Marxist thought in the 21st century. This renewed Leftist critique of capitalism emerges as articulated through newer social and political movements of the current times, particularly through the political philosophy of Slavoj Žižek and his auto-critique of the former Yugoslavia.
