Abstract

In this paper, I discuss the value of the work of Jacques Rancière in the discussion of literature and politics, and the limits of his theory. I review his concepts and recent criticisms of his books, and also use the Brazilian point of view as a privileged prism for an evaluation of his work. I suggest how contemporary literature can be read in the light of concepts such as “distribution of the sensible” and “aesthetic regime”, and point out the risks of domesticating this production using a theory that thinks from European and canonical objects.
