Juxtaposition of Micro-événements Sensibles

On Ranciere's View of Modern Fiction

Abstract

Ranciere believed that individual aesthetic perception and community governance followed the same organizational principle, from this he constructed an art criticism methodology, namely "regime of art". Literary works belonging to the aesthetic art system adopted the approach of "modern fiction", juxtaposing the impersonal "micro-événements sensibles". From the micro perspective, Ranciere believed that the objects presented in the works were no longer closed individuals, but the movement of emotional atoms, and those who engaged in reading behavior also became atomic beings, were equal to other emotional atoms and resonated with others. Therefore, literature reveals the emotional feature of real life and becomes a emotional community.
