Rancière and the crisis in the contemporary democratic structure

Abstract

This review seeks to contextualize the perception that the thinker Jacques Rancière has about the contemporary political structure and the concept of democracy. The text is careful to present the author’s criticism of current democracies and the way governments demonstrate and defend their structures. The French thinker is emphatic in stating that the responsibility for the removal of entities from the public environment is the result of an action by the governments themselves, which, in order to have greater freedom, encourage the masses to live only on the pursuit of the individual and private, an action the one that would generate what Rancière calls hatred of democracy.
