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.
