This article analyzes aspects about the aesthetic language as a political wrong through the concepts of politics and aesthetics of the French philosopher Jacques Rancière. First, using the legal-interpretive method, the concept of politics developed by Jacques Rancière is analyzed, comprehended as a way to break the hierarchical configuration of bodies and functions in the sensible distribution. Afterwards, it is examined the relation between this definition of politics, its wrong and the aesthetic language, as a instrument that manifests itself in criticism and resistance able to break with the pre-established order. Finally, are mentioned some examples of aesthetic language as political wrong.
