Description
Argues that political realism is a utopian belief and proposes that the true meaning of politics is based on the organization of dissent, or the righting of wrongs. Rancière offers “le politique” (the masculine form of a feminine noun – la politique) as the stage upon which “la politique” or the process of emancipation, meets “la police” or the machinations of democratic governments in an attempt to render all people equal.
