For Rancière, democracy presupposes or coincides with literarity, "the excess of words" over bodies(speakers or things) named or signified. The Aristotelian decorum regulating hierarchical relation between speaking subjects and words, between the visible and the sayable, should be abolished. What is important is not the question of who speaks, but words themselves as opposed to the actual words of speakers. In its essence literarity is disembodied words with no proper owners. In rhetorical terms logos displaces the character of the speaker(ethos), thus speech being without speaking subjects. In this paper I argue that such a definition of words deprives speaking subjects of their opportunity for subjectification or aesthetic stylization: to quote the title of his book The Flesh of Words, words cannot become bodies. Rancière overemphasizes the gap between the sayable and the visible at the expense of their agreement or unity; in principle he disproves any accord between them for he regards Aristotelian decorum as the enemy of democracy. Here I disagree with him. His politics of literarity is too much obsessed with the Aristotelian problematic to a degree that is anachronistic. In our modern society words are always in excess and are free floating signifiers with no proper reference and we don't have any norms to fight against. What we are in need of is not any further anonymous excess of words, but to answer the question of how to live words, how to subjectify and embody words, how to makes words sensible.
Abstract
For Rancière, democracy presupposes or coincides with literarity, "the excess of words" over bodies(speakers or things) named or signified. The Aristotelian decorum regulating hierarchical relation between speaking subjects and words, between the visible and the sayable, should be abolished. What is important is not the question of who speaks, but words themselves as opposed to the actual words of speakers. In its essence literarity is disembodied words with no proper owners. In rhetorical terms logos displaces the character of the speaker(ethos), thus speech being without speaking subjects. In this paper I argue that such a definition of words deprives speaking subjects of their opportunity for subjectification or aesthetic stylization: to quote the title of his book The Flesh of Words, words cannot become bodies. Rancière overemphasizes the gap between the sayable and the visible at the expense of their agreement or unity; in principle he disproves any accord between them for he regards Aristotelian decorum as the enemy of democracy. Here I disagree with him. His politics of literarity is too much obsessed with the Aristotelian problematic to a degree that is anachronistic. In our modern society words are always in excess and are free floating signifiers with no proper reference and we don't have any norms to fight against. What we are in need of is not any further anonymous excess of words, but to answer the question of how to live words, how to subjectify and embody words, how to makes words sensible.
