If I understand Jacques
Rancihre<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Ranci%C3%A8re>properly,
politics is an aesthetic act in so far as it brings to the
foreground what has been occluded in the background. With this reasoning he
argues that politics rarely happens because it is so disruptive. The rest of
the time, instead of politics we have policing -- that is, maintaining the
aesthetic order.
