On the basis of certain tensions between Jacques Rancière's aesthetics and his political philosophy, the article tries to trace new modes of subjectivation in contemporary activism and art. It explores how the actors of the overlapping terrains of aesthetic and political practices organize 'different forms, different spaces of expression and distribution of ideas' in Rancière's sense. Yet, analysing the practices of the Occupy movement, the Spanish M15 movement, and the dOCUMENTA (13) 'agents' AND AND AND as radically inclusive, polyvocal and transversal, it proposes a position that differs from Rancière's rejection of activist art, a non-totalizing political aesthetics as a component of molecular revolution
