ABSTRACT At once omnipresent and undertheorized, genre is what nobody really believes in but everyone tacitly relies upon, whether they are writing literary criticism or consulting a pull-down menu on Netflix. Taking up the portable slogan of Jacques Rancière, that politics is itself a “distribution of the sensible” (partage du sensible), and placing it in dialogue with Rosalie Colie’s assertion that genre systems offer a “fix” upon the world, this article argues for an understanding of genre as an affective filter that enacts a politics of perception, opening and closing down avenues of recognition, feeling and allegiance, encouraging identification in some directions while discouraging it in others. Sir Philip Sidney’s discussion of the “mongrel” form of tragicomedy in the Defense of Poesy is juxtaposed with the varieties of actual dramatic practice of early modern playwrights (including Lyly, Preston, and Shakespeare, who wrote across generic boundaries) in order to assess what a Rancière-inflected genre theory might look like.

重新分配感性：兰西埃之后的体裁理论

摘要流派是一种无所不在的理论，但没人能真正相信，但是每个人都是默认的，无论他们是写作文学批评还是在Netflix上查阅下拉菜单。本文认为，以雅克·兰西埃（JacquesRancière）的口号为口号，政治本身就是“明智的分配”（明智的部分），并将其与罗莎莉·科利（Rosalie Colie）的主张相提并论，后者认为体裁体系为世界提供了“解决方法”旨在将体裁理解为一种情感过滤器，该过滤器制定了感知政治，打开和关闭了认可，感觉和效忠的渠道，在某些方向鼓励了人们的认同，而在另一些方向则使人们望而却步。
