It spans an impressive array of fields, from the social sciences and political theory to feminism, literary analysis and film theory. It also includes important discussions of his most recent publications, as well as a dialogue with Jean-Luc Nancy and an enlightening interview with Rancière himself. All of these features make this collection a very welcome contribution to the burgeoning debate around Rancière’s veritable tour de force in the fields of history, aesthetics and politics.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGabriel Rockhill, Villanova University\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\"Oliver Davis has already established himself as a foremost and highly original commentator on the work of Jacques Rancière, bringing unusual insight to its polymorphous achievements in politics and aesthetics. In this collection he sets out a striking polyphony of different voices and approaches, both deeply engaged and critical  -- voices that represent a rare level of accomplishment each in their own right. Set against Rancière’s own contributions in interview and conversation, crossing between disciplines and generations, this volume offers a unique match to the importance of its subject.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdrian Rifkin, Goldsmiths, University of London\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\"Jacques Ranciere occupies a position of mainstream marginality in contemporary thought, and the present volume demonstrates both facets of this complex position very well.

This much-needed new collection situates Rancière's thought in a range of practical and theoretical contexts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eAisthesis\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRancière Now\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of Contributors\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Editor’s Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePolitics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1.
