ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to ponder on the constitution of the political subject from two specific concepts: the face (Lévinas, Butler, Deleuze and Guattari) and the scene of dissensus (Rancière, Habermas), in order to show how the “appearance” of the individuals can produce a controversial scene of dissensus, trigger a process of political subjectivation and the creation of dissensual forms of expression and communication that invent new ways of being (Foucault), seeing and saying, configuring new ways of collective enunciation and interconnections between aesthetic experience and politics. This is related to the invention of new visualities and interlocutions in which the face is inscribed. Face is defined here as the vestige of a place of the other that is transformed into the promise of my own place, assuming a political and communicational character, in an incessant process of political subjectivation where ethics and aesthetics are related.
