ANOMIE AS POLITICS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN DURKHEIM AND RANCIÈRE

Abstract

This paper aims at comparing Emile Durkheim’s concept of anomie with Jacques Rancière’s understanding of politics. Durkheim takes anomie as an exceptional and pathological case, which disrupts the healthy, functioning society. Rancière makes a distinction between politics and police, the latter of which he argues is the conventional understanding of politics since the antiquity. This paper will firstly introduce the concept of anomie and Rancière’s understanding of politics. In this way, it will be presented that Durkheim’s functionalist and organistic approach to society corresponds to the police order in terms of Rancière’s understanding and the concept of anomie corresponds to Ranciere’s understanding of politics.
