Democracy is not the parliamentary system or the legitimate state. it is not a state of the social either, the reign of individualism or the masses . . . Democracy is the name of a singular interruption of this order of the distribution of bodies in a community that i have suggested should be conceptualised as police. it is the name of that which interrupts the smooth functioning of this order through a singular process of subjectivization. Jacques Rancière, Disagreement

民主不是议会制度或合法国家。它也不是一种社会状态，也不是个人主义或群众的统治。. . 民主是在一个社区中这种身体分配秩序的单一中断的名称，我建议将其概念化为警察。它是通过单一的主观化过程中断这个秩序的顺利运作的东西的名字。雅克·朗西埃《分歧》
