SUMMARY:

The purpose of this work is to present and develop the relation among words, equality, emancipation, aesthetics, and politics in the work of Jacques Rancière from the hypothesis that words are, beyond signs of communication, means by which one can reconfigure a distribution of the sensible. One conceives, in general, that writing is to submit words to certain sets of rules and knowledges. One still conceives that the words found in the books of literature or those found in certain packing labels do not carry any potence by which subjects could verify their equality with other subjects and engender their emancipation. This work seeks, however, to follow another way and to demonstrate that history offers us counter-examples to these general conceptions, namely, that the words of literature and those of packing labels are potencial motors of emancipation to anyone. Therefore, it will be divided into four moments. In the first place, it will show French pedagogue Joseph Jacotot’s intellectual adventure, recalled by Rancière in the 1980’s to sustain his thesis about the equality of intelligences. This equality, however, is only possible to the extent that it is mediated by the experience of a distance made possible by a book and its words. The second moment of this work will deal with what Rancière calls literary democracy and in what way, indirectly, Jacotot’s experience indicates this democracy. Words fly without control and can be said and written, including, by those who do not have the right to use them. The word is democratic because it can be said out of its place. If one can talk about literary democracy, it is due to the way of being that words acquire in modernity. It is under the mode of the mute speech that not only literature, but the so called social sciences on its path, constituted themselves as such. And it is about this institution that the third chapter will talk. Rancière makes a reconstruction of the origins of the method of the historian science by going back to the way of literature writing. Literature, in its turn, is written not only from the fluctuation of words without control, but also from the reconfiguration of the sensible that they engender. It is not by chance that writing is, for Rancière, a political activity. The fourth chapter of this work will deal with that finally by starting from the Aristotelian distinction between those who have the speech (logos) and those who have only the voice (phonè). Rancière challenges this division by affirming that politics is only possible by the rupture of the sensible distribution that establishes, on the one hand, the speakers and, on the other hand, those who cannot speak. Finally, politics is only possible to the extent that there is a redefinition of words by those who, right before, were forbidden of using them. But also politics is only possible to the extente that it plays with the limits of those prohibitions, making speak those who did not speak or making visible those who were not seen.
