Abstract
Rancière scrutinizes the obsession with "unrepresentable" from postmodernist sublime aesthetics, and after a critical reflection on the ethical turn of aesthetics, he proposes to break into the indistinct isolated space of ethics by way of dissensus. This approach plays down on the redemption appeal and reinforces the promise of emancipation, and it reverts the critical perspective of ethics to the active aesthetics of practicum.
