Politics is about what we see and what we can say about it, about who has the competence to see and the quality to say, about the properties of spaces and the possibilities of time.

It is from this that we can pose the question of aesthetic practices, in the sense in which we understand it, i.e. the forms of visibility of art practices, the place they occupy, what they do in the eyes of the common.”  – Jacques Rancière

“There is a constitutive movement in modern fiction, which shifts its center of gravity from its traditional core, constituted by the knots of narrative events, to those edges where fiction finds itself at its possible cancellation… edges where fiction welcomes the world of beings and situations that previously existed at its margins: the insignificant events between what happens and what simply happens.

These are also the uncertain boundaries between what is real and what is invented. Finally, these are the edges where the narrative that intends to document the real appropriates forms of overt fiction.”

Jacques Rancière – The edges of fiction.
