Beskrivning

This book forms the first critical study of Jacques Ranciere's impact and contribution to contemporary theoretical and interdisciplinary studies. It showcases the work of leading scholars in fields such as political theory, history and aesthetic theory; each of whom are uniquely situated to engage with the novelty of Ranciere's thinking within their respective fields. Each of the essays provides an investigation into the critical stance Ranciere takes towards his contemporaries, concentrating on the versatile application of his thought to diverse fields of study (including, political and education theory, cinema studies, literary and aesthetic theory, and historical studies). The aim of this collection is to use the critical interventions Ranciere's writing makes on current topics and themes as a way of offering new critical perspectives on his thought. Wielding their individual expertise, each contributor assesses his perspectives and positions on thinkers and topics of contemporary importance. The edition includes a new essay by Jacques Ranciere, which charts the different problems and motivations that have shaped his work.

Recensioner i media

This finely tuned collection of writings from some of the most astute readers of Jacques Rancière throughout the world not only engages the analytics of his work, but put his insights to work. Rancière's own contribution - as a reader of his readers - is nothing less than incisive. In short, Deranty and Ross have edited a stellar set of essays that will become a primary source for anyone interested in the singularly unique, multidisciplinary aspects of Rancière's critical ideas.
