Abstract

Freudian concept of unconscious is discussed in the article from the perspective presented by Jacques Ranciere, a French theoretician, in his work L’inconscient esthétique (The aesthetic unconscious). Having presented a general structure of Ranciere’s notional instrument, the author of the text moves on to the analysis of the relationship between Freudian discovery and the tradition of an aesthetic thought. The last part of the text presents the way Freudian notion of unconscious, or, better, his Ranciere’s interpretation, refer to a contemporary theoretical-political context.
