Description:
The French philosopher Jacques Rancière is well known across
the world for his groundbreaking contributions to aesthetic and
political theory and for his radical rethinking of the question of
equality. This much-needed new collection situates Rancière's
thought in a range of practical and theoretical contexts.

These specially commissioned essays cover the complete history of
Rancière's work and reflect its interdisciplinary reach. They
span his early historical research of the 1960s and '70s, his
celebrated critique of pedagogy and his later political theory of
dissensus and disagreement, as well as his ongoing analysis of
literature and 'the aesthetic regime of art'. Rancière's
resistance to psychoanalytic thinking is also explored, as are his
most recent publications on film and film theory. Contributors
include Tom Conley, Carolyn Steedman, Geneviève Fraisse,
Jean-Luc Nancy, Jeremy Lane, and many more. The book also includes
a brand new interview with Rancière, reflecting on his
intellectual project and developing new lines of thought from his
latest major work, Aisthesis.

Rancière Now will be essential reading for students and
scholars across the humanities and social sciences; it will
stimulate and inspire discussion of Rancière?s work for
years to come.
