| Zusammenfassung: | "What distinguishes fiction from ordinary experience is not a lack of reality but a surfeit of rationality – this was the thesis of Aristotle’s Poetics. The rationality of fiction is that appearances are inverted. Fiction overturns the ordinary course of events that occur one after the other, aiming to show how the unexpected arises, happiness transforms into unhappiness and ignorance into knowledge. In the modern age, argues Ranciére, this fictional rationality was developed in new ways. The social sciences extended the model of causal linkage to all spheres of human action, seeking to show us how causes produce their effects by inverting appearances and expectations. Literature took the opposite path. Instead of democratizing fictional rationality to include all human activity in the world of rational knowledge, it destroyed its principles by abolishing the limits that circumscribed a reality peculiar to fiction. It aligned itself with the rhythms of everyday life and plumbed the power of the “random moment” into which an entire life is condensed. In the avowed fictions of literature as well as in the unavowed fictions of politics, social science or journalism, the central question is the same: how to construct the perceptible forms of a shared world. From Stendhal to João Guimarães Rosa and from Marx to Sebald, via Balzac, Poe, Maupassant, Proust, Rilke, Conrad, Auerbach, Faulkner and some others, this book explores these constructions and sheds new light on the constitutive movement of modern fiction, the movement that shifted its centre of gravity from its traditional core toward those edges in which fiction gets confronted with its possible revocation"-- "In this book, Jacques Ranciére conveys how conventional fictional rationality, the causal linkage between events, has been adopted in many fields. Modern literature in contrast depicts everyday life. Ranciére shows how it operates at the edges where it is confronted with possible revocation, aiming to help us better understand our shared world"-- |

| adam_text | What distinguishes fiction from ordinary experience is not a lack of reality but a surfeit of rationality - this was the thesis of Aristotle’s Poetics. Fictional rationality goes beyond the flow of random, empirical events that occur one after the other, producing a causal chain to show how the unexpected arises, happiness transforms into unhappiness and ignorance into knowledge, and to establish truth as an inversion of what appearances led us to expect. In the modern age, Rancière argues, this fictional rationality has developed in new ways. Both the social sciences and modern literary fiction are founded on the same process of overturning the Aristotelian distinction, but they do so in different ways. While the social sciences extended the model of causal linkage to all spheres of human action, literature took the opposite path. Instead of democratizing the fictional rationality of tragedy to include all human activity in the world of rational knowledge, it destroyed its principles by abolishing the limits that circumscribed a reality peculiar to fiction. It aligned itself with the rhythms of everyday life and plumbed the power of the ‘random moment’. In the avowed fictions of literature as well as in the unavowed fictions of politics, social science or journalism, the central question is the same: how to construct the perceptible forms of a shared world. This book explores these constructions and sheds new light on the constitutive movement of modern fiction, the movement that shifted its centre of gravity from its traditional core toward those edges at which fiction
gets confronted with its possible revocation.
