Abstract

Elaborating on equality, the chapter frames Rancière’s politics and power as never static and pure, but characterized in terms of division, conflict and polemics allowing the invention of the new, the unauthorized and the disordered. The first part outlines Rancière’s reflection in context and in relation with his key concepts. The second part situates these reflections in planning, dislocating politics in a territory without foundations, exploring the possibility of a destituent power. Destituent power is configured as a way of practising politics that radically breaks with the modern logic of sovereignty, opening multiple instances of liberation that do not exist in dominant institutions. What is emerging isa politics beyond power, not founded by and on power. An an-archic politics.
