朗西埃不滿意將藝術變成純生活和將藝術變成純藝術的兩種現代主義模式,他力圖去發現隱藏在這種二元對立中的內在張力,主張藝術應該在這兩極的張力空間中自由游戲,把這個張力空間打造成為"無分之分"的歧義劇場。現代主義美學革命的要義就在于使原先被排除在外的部分也進入文學,諸如不為整體故事服務的細節、不聽作者安排的人物,這些不服從的部分以自身的堅硬存在打破了既定的感受性體制,文學的政治于焉發生。

Jacques Rancière is not satisfied with the two modes of modernism,namely turning art into mere life or into pure art.He endeavors to reveal the hidden tension between this binary opposition,maintaining that art should play freely within this binary tension space and make the tension space a dissensus theatre of the part of no part. The essential of aesthetic revolution of modernism lies in recognizing and receiving the previous excluded parts of literature,such as details drifted away from the integrated story,characters detached from the writer’s arrangement,which challenge the given distribution of the sensible with its solid existences. The politics of literature thus occurs.
