Balibar divides up politics into three concepts—emancipation, transformation, and civility. Throughout this discussion, he comments on the inevitable “us versus them” politics in society. Subject politics comes into play when we look at the active versus passive citizen because only subject-citizens are able to be active in society. However, Ranciere goes further to define a citizen as someone who has a right to speak, but what if they aren’t able to do that? This is where the role of emancipation comes in. Due to this disidentification, the minoritarian does not have the time or right to be political because they are los desechables. If politics revolve around what is seen and what can be said about it, the minoritarian often does not have the time due to the economic hardship to be seen or say anything. Balibar argues that there is a way to come into visibility as victims but what is the effect of this? Is there a healthy way to appropriate victimhood and is that a form of emancipation that Ranciere is calling for?
