Jacques Ranciere's theory of Politics of Aesthetics has been used on post-political governance in many countries, is there any critiques on applying this theory to the non-European context where social democratic consensus-building as in post-War Europe has been absent?
Dear June,
I'm not sure the dichotomy between the European and non-European contexts is relevant as far as critiques of the "post-political" governance theory are concerned. I'm convinced that such critical examinations can converge from various field studies and that decypherings of the ideological contents at stake can challenge existing postures without using civilizational contrasts.
See, for example, this paper by Ronan Paddison about Glasgow:
