- Title
A New Way to Suffer: Girard, Rancière, and Political Subjectification.
- Authors
Janicka, Iwona
- Abstract
The author explores Jacques Rancière, a French philosopher's idea that nineteenth-century workers' impulse for emancipatory political action did not come from enduring hunger, low wages, and poverty alone, but rather from learning a new bourgeois form of experience through reading a certain type of literature. Topics discussed include that taking hypothesis as author's starting point, and interrogates this new form of mimetic suffering from René Girard's mimetic perspective.
