This paper proposes to rethink the integration of noise in music, a phenomenon too often confined in the borders of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, under the light of Jacques Rancière's reflections on what he calls the “aesthetic regime”: a revolution in the ways of thinking and feeling which, propelled by Romanticism and still ongoing, disrupts the conceptualizations of society and culture inherited from ancient Greece. In terms of artistic creation and appreciation, the new era is characterized by a decline of the classic ideal of eloquence, of the form entirely guided by a content to be transmitted, for the benefit of the more ambiguous model of the “mute speech”, of the signification that is beyond any master's control. The latter, Rancière explains, can be interpreted in two ways. As the immanence of logos in pathos, it is the expressive power of mute things themselves: the secret signification or poetry of unimportant details, accessible to anyone who knows how to look properly. As the immanence of pathos in logos, inversely, it is the share of nonsense hiding behind the most rigorously articulated speech just as in any other rational construction: an obscure force to which the poet-psychoanalyst or metaphysician tries, somehow, to give voice and body. If the mute speech and its two contradictory forms come to oust the old eloquence as the principle of artistic creation, it is because the whole aesthetic regime revolves around the idea of a radical identity between all opposites: the noble and the vulgar, the active and the passive, the conscious and the unconscious, etc. So, building on these reflections, this paper proposes to retrace some of the practices and discourses which, since Romanticism and up to this day, blur the lines between sense and nonsense, art and non-art, music and noise.

The author proposes that Kama La Mackerel's ZOM-FAM is a fabulatory archive for queer indenture. She contextualizes this book of poems within Mauritius and the island's histories of enslavement and indenture and observe how ZOM-FAM offers a queers lens through decolonial approaches to language alongside an aesthetic that illuminates new genealogies in queer indenture and decolonial gender.
