Abstract:<\/strong> I examine acknowledgment in Ranci\u00e8re’s philosophy, drawing on his notion of disagreement. I reflect on the speech of Percennius the slave in Ancient Rome. Acknowledgment for Ranci\u00e8re is an act of speech irreducible to recognition that acknowledges and poetically investigates the silent figure that comes before the law, seeking words in this exposure to what is to come. It is not simply registration of emergent identities; it also relies on substitution for and suspension of the norms of sensibility under which it makes sense. I suggest the term ‘acknowledgment’ for a poetic speech act that is irreducible to recognition in Ranci\u00e8re’s philosophy.<\/p>\n About the speaker:<\/strong> Ert\u00fcrk Demirel studied economics at Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i University and received a MA in philosophy from the same university, specializing on ethics and philosophy of language.
