From a post-structural perspective, this essay examines how aesthetic practices, taken as exercises of the self, reconfigure the distribution of the sensible in university classes and engender modes of subjectivation. It articulates Foucault (dispositif, truth-telling, care of the self) and Rancière (politics of the sensible, equality of intelligences) in dialogue with Dewey, Benjamin, Deleuze and Guattari, Gumbrecht and Biesta. It proposes a five-dimension analytical matrix (visibility, enunciation, temporality, materiality, subjectivation) and derives didactic-formative implications for curating appearance, public criteria for speech, temporal techniques, the epistemic role of materialities, and evaluation as a practice of subjectivation.
