Dissensus

Kim talks with Gina about Jacques Rancière’s concept of dissensus.

Gina refers to several major works of philosophy including:
Jacques Rancière’s Dissensus
Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgement
Jacques Derrida’s The Truth In Painting
Plato’s Republic
She also takes a small dig at Althusser, in the spirit of Rancière

Gina is a PhD candidate at NYU and an amazing teacher. She studies medieval literature and critical theory. She loves Theodor Adorno and really really hates the dialectic.
