#ranciere “…led me to search in the history of the working class movement for the reasons for the ambiguous or failed encounters between workers and the intellectuals who had come to visit them or educate them or be educated by them…” (2004)
a strange statement, this from a text where the spectacle is referenced against theatre and interestingly both Debord and Brecht are discussed. In a sense both are raised as related… but who are these strange workers? Who are these intellectuals protected by their intellects from the spectacle? for isn’t this the implication?
