The French philosopher Jacques Rancière is well known acrossthe world for his groundbreaking contributions to aesthetic andpolitical theory and for his radical rethinking of the question ofequality. This much-needed new collection situates Rancière'sthought in a range of practical and theoretical contexts.
These specially commissioned essays cover the complete history ofRancière's work and reflect its interdisciplinary reach. Theyspan his early historical research of the 1960s and '70s, hiscelebrated critique of pedagogy and his later political theory ofdissensus and disagreement, as well as his ongoing analysis ofliterature and 'the aesthetic regime of art'. Rancière'sresistance to psychoanalytic thinking is also explored, as are hismost recent publications on film and film theory. Contributorsinclude Tom Conley, Carolyn Steedman, Geneviève Fraisse,Jean-Luc Nancy, Jeremy Lane, and many more. The book also includesa brand new interview with Rancière, reflecting on hisintellectual project and developing new lines of thought from hislatest major work, Aisthesis.
