ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the various relationships between arts and politics. Arts and politics are more and more often associated with protest movements. Orders of worth cross boundaries between the domains of the arts, politics, and economics; the value of inspiration being frequently involved in the qualification of artworks. According to Jacques Ranciere, aesthetics is central to politics, which is why his thought is highly relevant to our discussion. In his The Politics of Aesthetics: The Distribution of the Sensible "distribution" implying both inclusion and exclusion- the "aesthetic regime of the arts" involves, in contrast to the previous "ethical" and "representational" regimes, "the promotion of the anonymous". If cultural intermediaries are a major component of the "genre" of contemporary art, since they bridge the gap between the artist's transgression and the spectator's expectations, in the chapter one have examined a new configuration in which spectators leave the audience to become such intermediaries.
