Democracy and Practices of Ignorance. Marder, L. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 13
abstract   bibtex   
The near consensus among political theorists is that a healthy democracy in no small part depends on the participation of citizens with necessary knowledge. Democracy refers to the disruptive constitution of political space through an absence of entitlement to rule that itself is the entitlement to rule by anyone or in Ranciere’s influential terminology, “the part that has no part”. Practices of ignorance can cohere with, on the one hand, the police logic or, on the other hand, the democratic logic and facilitate either the preservation of the existing configuration or a democratic moment. Impersonal social processes, such as industrialization, similarly fail at reframing the sensible, for they have no inherent democratic thrust and no reason not to reproduce the hierarchies and divisions of the police order. Transformation also operates in Balibar’s discourse on the idea of European citizenship and European language.
