This paper explores ways of rethinking politics of the works of Virginia Woolf with particular reference to Jacques Ranciere’s conceptions of the distribution of the sensible and the aesthetic regime of literature. Ranging from the feminist and marxist scholars from the 1970s to the critics today, a number of academic readers have struggled to draw political meanings from the textual surfaces of Woolf’s texts. Despite their contributions to placing Woolf’s works in political discourse on class, gender, and nation, their studies have been exclusively focused on the act of deciphering political codes and symbols inscribed in her texts. In challenge of the critical reception in which Woolf’s texts are reduced to political allegories, this paper seeks to argue that the works of Woolf become political not because her texts convey the author’s political messages but because they engender new forms of discourse, what Ranciere called an aesthetic regime or a dissensual community. Relating Woolf with Ranciere, both of whom believe that politics begins when impossibilities are challenged, this paper presents the ways in which Woolf’s texts create the “dissensual” effects on the existing social system. By focusing on two lectures addressed to working-class men and women, this paper is to reconsider the politics of Woolf’s texts.
