초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine Jacques Rancière’s aesthetic community as the paradox of being together apart. An aesthetic community is not a community bound up with regionalism, school relations, and kinship but an infant community of sense produced through redistribution of the sensible to reframe a new and equal common space. Rancière claims there is an ‘aesthetics’ at the core of politics, because the distribution of the sensible defines what can be visible or not in a common space. A community can be political when it makes forms of subjectivation for the uncounted appear.
This paper tries to show why Rancière’s thought is important to the contemporary community discourses, examining both contributions and limits of those community discourses which focus either on being apart or on being together. Within Rancière’s three schemes of art regimes, being together belongs to the “representational regime of art” which erases the gap between poiesis and aisthēsis. In the “ethical regime of art,” the community of being together without mediation is celebrated by Plato. But Plato constructs a hierarchical opposition between activity and passivity, while the anti-representationists like Gilles Deleuze dismiss the real laws of our being together, celebrating the individuation and haecceities.
Accordingly, both by questioning the ways in which the community is produced and by exploring the potentials of community entailed in separation itself, I’d like to show the political efficacy and possibility of Ranciére’s aesthetic community.
