*Session Abstract*
The work of Jacques Rancière has come to hold an increasingly central place
in contemporary analyses of the relationship between politics and
aesthetics. Though a major figure in visual culture, his ideas have arrived
comparatively late within music and sound studies. Rancière’s overriding
concern has been with radical democracy as a prolonged working out of the
turmoil of 1968. Much of this work has revolved around an innovative
extrapolation from his classic text *The Nights of Labor: The Workers’
Dream in Nineteenth-Century France* that offered a rereading of social
emancipation not as a Marxist seizing control of the means of production,
as Kristin Ross puts it, ‘but rather seizing the right to dead time, the
right to think, the right to occupy the terrain the bourgeoisie had
carefully preserved for itself: the terrain of aesthetic pleasure’.
This seminar will consider how Rancière’s theories might help us to
reimagine the sonic through the relationship between politics and
aesthetics. Alongside the speakers, we are delighted to welcome as
respondents the editors of Rancière and Music (Edinburgh University Press,
2020), João Pedro Cachopo, Patrick Nickleson, and Chris Stover.
