Politics, police, aesthetics and scenes of dissensus: challenges imposed to Communication research in the dialogue with Rancière

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss the challenges imposed by the articulation between the thought of Rancière and Communicational empirical objects. Firstly we present the problem of punctuality versus processuality of the politics in the light of the strategies of institutional capture of pixação in the context of the Biennials of Art in São Paulo and Berlin. Then we explore the theatrality and spontaneity of the actors’s actions in producing political scenes of dissensus in the Program Papo de polícia, in order to reveal the politics of aesthetics.
