It is the first introduction in any language to cover all of his major work and offers an accessible presentation and searching evaluation of his significant contributions to the fields of politics, pedagogy, history, literature, film theory and aesthetics. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book traces the emergence of Rancière’s thought over the last forty-five years and situates it in the diverse intellectual contexts in which it intervenes. Beginning with his egalitarian critique of his former teacher Louis Althusser, the book tracks the subsequent elaboration of Rancière’s highly original conception of equality. This approach reveals that a grasp of his early archival and historiographical work is vital for a full understanding both of his later politics and his ongoing investigation of art and aesthetics. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Along the way, this book explains and analyses key terms in Rancière’s very distinctive philosophical lexicon, including the ‘police’ order, ‘disagreement’, ‘political subjectivation’, ‘literarity’, the ‘part which has no part’, the ‘regimes of art’ and ‘the distribution of the sensory’. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book argues that Rancière’s work sets a new standard in contestatory critique and concludes by reflecting on the philosophical and policy implications of his singular project.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 The Early Politics: From Pedagogy to Equality 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthusser's lesson 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlatonic inequality in Marx, Sartre and Bourdieu 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJacotot and radical equality 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 History and Historiography 36\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLes Révoltes Logiques\u003c\/i\u003e (1975–81) 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Nights of Labor: The Workers' Dream in Nineteenth-Century France\u003c\/i\u003e [1981] 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Names of History: On the Poetics of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e [1992] 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 The Mature Politics: From Policing to Democracy 74\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolitics and 'the police' 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRancière's structural account of democracy: the 'wrong' and the miscount 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolitical 'subjectivation' 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aesthetic dimension of politics: the 'division' or 'distribution' of 'the sensory' (le partage du sensible) 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverall assessment of Rancière's account of politics 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Literature 101\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'What is literature?' 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWriting, literarity . . . and literature 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRancière as reader 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Art and Aesthetics 126\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAesthetic experience and equality: with Kant and Gauny, against Bourdieu 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe regimes of art 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFilm and film theory 138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContemporary art, politics and community 152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 207\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407315857688,"sku":"9780745646541","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745646541.jpg?v=1784161159","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/jacques-ranciere-hardback-9780745646541","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
