There has been considerable attention drawn to French philosopher Jacques Ranciere’s works in recent years. Amongst critics inspired by the ontological turn in contemporary political theories, many have lamented Ranciere’s failure to provide a sufficient account of the ontological status of the key concepts and presuppositions such as “equality of anyone and everyone” employed in his writings. Yet, by far, only relatively few have noticed Ranciere’s open criticism of political ontology, not to mention the fact that Ranciere has conceived his works as poetics. This essay is an attempt to investigate the trajectory and dispositive of Ranciere’s historical and political writings, seeking to clarify Ranciere’s resistance against the temptation of ontology and its further implications. |
