[Rancire] has a certain sardonic precision. -- The Guardian "Steven Corcoran has provided a timely and coherently organized collection of Rancire's short writings, one that can stand as a solid introduction to the author's thought...There is a distinct shift of emphasis that occurs in Rancire's writings around the late 1990's, however, and the task of a good collection would be to capture both periods and the thematic interaction between them. The writings gathered here, which date from 1996 to 2004, perform both tasks admirably...For those who seek to get a sense of both the richness and the breadth of the work of one of the most significant thinkers of our time, Dissensus provides a valuable resource. I can think of no better starting point than this collection." -Todd May, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews An accessible introduction to Rancire's thought and an essential collection of his essays. -- Marx & Philosophy Review of Books Title mention in Times Higher Education, January 2010
