and 'politics of detail'!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The common notion that art is a product of the aesthetic unconscious has often been supported by the authority of psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e Rancière overturns this conventional wisdom in this short pamphlet, The Aesthetic Unconscious.\u003cbr\u003e He argues that Freud's unconscious was not simply a clinical \"discovery,\" but rather became possible within the aesthetic system of art since the 19th century—a system in which the oppositions of what is said and what is seen, consciousness and the unconscious, knowledge and action, activity and passivity, logos and pathos are intertwined and function.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, it is not that psychoanalysis has been interpreting art, but that art has already been ‘operating’ like the unconscious. \u003cbr\u003eThe fact that Freud formalized the unconscious by drawing on the Oedipal tragedy, Michelangelo's sculptures, novels, and plays is proof that art was a form of thought before it became an object of interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e This book traces how non-thinking forms such as 'meaning in meaninglessness,' 'silent speech,' and 'insignificant details' operate thought, and depicts an aesthetic shift in which the sharing of the sensible is rearranged beyond the norms of representation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

that even what seems like insignificant details are filled with thought.\u003cbr\u003e …they are evidence that there is some kind of relationship between thought and non-thought, that thought exists in some way in sensible materiality, the involuntary in conscious thought, and meaning in the meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This pathos makes Oedipus an impossible protagonist in the classical period unless a radical correction is made about him.\u003cbr\u003e The reason why [Oedipus] is an impossible [protagonist] is not because he kills his father and sleeps with his mother, but because of the way he learns it, that is, the identity he embodies in this learning, the tragic identity of knowledge and non-knowledge, the tragic identity of voluntary action and passively experienced pathos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e--- p.27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Psychoanalysis was invented at the point where philosophy and medicine questioned each other, by making thinking a problem of disease and disease a problem of thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The birth of psychoanalysis is historically situated in the midst of this dominant counter-movement in literature, which has Schopenhauer and the young Nietzsche as its philosophical heroes, and which, from Zola to Maupassant, Ibsen or Strindberg, is immersed in the pure meaninglessness of raw life and its encounter with the forces of darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The silent revolution called aesthetics opens up a space in which ideas of thought and corresponding ideas of writing can develop.\u003cbr\u003e This notion of thinking is based on a fundamental assumption.\u003cbr\u003e That there is a thought that does not think, a thought that operates not only in the heterogeneous elements of non-thinking but also in the form of non-thinking itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.45\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe statement that everything is said also means that the hierarchy of representational order has been abolished.\u003cbr\u003e Freud's crucial rule that there are no 'details' that can be ignored, but rather that it is precisely such details that lead us to the path of truth, is in direct continuity with the aesthetic revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.49\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The silent writing of things conveys in prose the truth of a civilization or an era, a truth that was once covered by the stage of the 'living word' that enjoyed glory.\u003cbr\u003e The living word is now nothing more than a stage for empty eloquence, a superficial inflammatory speech.\u003cbr\u003e But the hermeneutician is also a physician and symptomatologist who diagnoses the ills of vibrant individuals and vibrant societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What disturbs this order is the romantic Oedipus. \u003cbr\u003eHe is a hero of thought who does not know what he knows, who wants what he does not want, who acts through suffering, who speaks through silence.\u003cbr\u003e Oedipus? And the procession of great Oedipal heroes that follows him? The reason why he is at the center of Freud's conceptual oeuvre is because Oedipus is the symbol of an artistic regime that identifies the state of art with the state of thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Freud's main point, as already mentioned, is not to establish a sexual etiology of artistic phenomena, but to intervene in the unconscious notions of thought that give norms to the products of the aesthetic regime of art, to bring order to the way in which art and thinking about art operate the relationship between knowledge and non-knowledge, meaning and meaninglessness, logos and pathos, the real and the fantastic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.73\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePsychoanalysis is possible on the basis of an artistic system that discards the orderly plots of the representational age and gives new rights to the pathos of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e But Freud makes a very decisive choice in the fabric of the aesthetic unconscious.\u003cbr\u003e He prefers the first form of the unspoken, that is, the symptom, the trace of history.\u003cbr\u003e He contrasts that form with another form of speechlessness, the anonymous voice of unconscious and unaware life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The aesthetic unconscious is not simply a historical backdrop against which Freud's unconscious stands out.\u003cbr\u003e It is a constellation with its own dynamics, philosophy, and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.125\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Aesthetic Unconscious: The Hidden Matrix of Freudian Psychoanalysis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the beginning of this book, Jacques Rancière rejects the common approach of applying Freud's theory of the unconscious to aesthetics. \u003cbr\u003eRather, his core question goes against the grain.\u003cbr\u003e 'Why did Freud need literary and artistic examples (Oedipus, Gradiva, etc.) to prove his theory?' Rancière retracees the literary and artistic figures that made Freud's theory of the unconscious possible, and reveals the hidden theoretical collusion and conflict between aesthetics and psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e According to Rancière's insight, Freud's theory of the unconscious could only be formalized outside the clinical realm, on the basis of an 'unconscious way of thinking' that already had a privileged effect in the realm of works of art and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This 'aesthetic unconscious' is summarized in the idea of ​​'thinking of the unthinking'.\u003cbr\u003e It is the belief that even seemingly meaningless things have meaning, and that even the smallest details are filled with thought. \u003cbr\u003eFreud was able to use artistic examples as interpreters of the 'trivial' facts ignored by his fellow positivists because these examples themselves were a kind of unconscious evidence of the presence of thought within sensuous materiality.\u003cbr\u003e Rancière argues that the aesthetic unconscious was not simply the background of Freud's theory, but rather its hidden mother, saying that the aesthetic unconscious was the historical and ontological prerequisite for the birth and development of Freud's theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn aesthetic revolution that destroyed the order of the representational system\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For Rancière, aesthetics is not a discipline that deals with art, but a specific historical system of thought that treats the state of art as a state of thought.\u003cbr\u003e This aesthetic system is the result of an aesthetic revolution that destroyed the system of poetic representation that had persisted since ancient times. \u003cbr\u003eThe representational system was an order of strictly regulated relationships between what could be said and what could be seen.\u003cbr\u003e In this order, while words express emotions and will, they control what they reveal, and are prohibited from directly showing on stage horrific sights that cannot be described in words (such as the horror of a gouged eye).\u003cbr\u003e So, classical playwrights criticized Sophocles' protagonist Oedipus as a 'flawed subject'.\u003cbr\u003e The flaw lies not simply in the incestuous material, but in the way the tragic truth is revealed and the pathos of Oedipus's mad knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He is obsessed with knowing things he would rather not know, refuses to hear the truth, and ultimately commits the horrific act of gouging out his own eyes. \u003cbr\u003eDrama is a departure from the Aristotelian order, which dictates that action should unfold from a state of partial ignorance to a rational pursuit of a specific goal.\u003cbr\u003e However, Rancière says that Oedipus's 'tragic identity of knowledge and non-knowledge, action and pathos' was the seed of an aesthetic revolution that the representational system could not embrace, and that the aesthetic revolution dismantled this entire order.\u003cbr\u003e This new system elevates the tragic identity of knowledge and non-knowledge, of action (active) and suffering (passive), to the very core of art.\u003cbr\u003e What is confusing and sensual is no longer a lower level of awareness, but is elevated to the level of thinking of the unthinking.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, art is liberated from necessity and norms, and becomes a space where the power of the unspoken, that is, the unconscious, is privileged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'Speechless Words' and the Politics of Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Rancière connects the workings of the aesthetic unconscious with the politics of the senses, focusing on the concepts of ‘silent speech’ and ‘detail.’\u003cbr\u003e The insight lies in the fact that the so-called \"nothing\"—the margins, the pauses, the insignificant details—are actually the key devices that ignite thought.\u003cbr\u003e Rancière presents two ‘silent words’.\u003cbr\u003e One is the hieroglyphic speech created by the traces and arrangements imprinted on the surface of objects, and the other is the anonymous voice that permeates the stage beyond the characters' psychology and lines.\u003cbr\u003e The former, like the dust in an antique shop or the image of a city sewer, allows peripheral details to disrupt the central narrative and redraw the map of the senses.\u003cbr\u003e Another 'unspoken language' is the deaf (inaudible) language of anonymous power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis language goes beyond the actor's psychology and intentions, summoning anonymous emotions and the power of meaninglessness, and is embodied in shadows, wax figures, and superhumans (Craig), and the play of death (Cantor).\u003cbr\u003e Together, the two forms sketch the space of literary speech=symptom speech, in this way, the 'unspoken speech' appears on the one hand as hieroglyphics to be deciphered, and on the other as anonymity that must be given a voice\/body.\u003cbr\u003e Rancière says that these two reflect each other.\u003cbr\u003e The world as a text that demands deciphering and the world as anonymity that has yet to find a voice intersect, and we experience the depth of thought on the surface of the work.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, it becomes clear that 'details are not decoration'.\u003cbr\u003e Details are the key conduit of sensory rearrangement, and reading becomes not an act of gathering meaning, but a performance of participating in the rhythm in which meaning is generated.
