Abstract

Ranciere's theory of art regime is a completely new paradigm of art criticism, and it conveys the idea that aesthetics and politics themselves are isomorphic. Among the three art regimes, only the aesthetic regime implements the principle of political equality and has a new type of vision that attaches equal importance to thought and image, and it is summarized as the "language-thought" principle and the "non-discrimination" principle, respectively. These two principles present a state of contradiction and struggle in literary works and become the driving force for the development of literature.
