Different from understanding politics as an entity consisting of common positions or values, dissensus emphasizes the existence of difference itself as the condition that constitutes politics. This issue borrows the idea of dissensus suggested by French philosopher Jacques Rancière, to propose the aesthetical potential of dissenting opinions as a way to interfere with cultural hegemony. By examining cases in different regions, we hope to leap out from the framework of consensus politics and explore how artists intervene with dissensus in reality, providing another perspective for us to think about the operation of power structure in our society.
