Moments Politiques (Paperback)

To speak of "political moments" is to say, first and foremost, that politics is not the continuous unfolding of governmental acts and power struggles; rather, it exists in those moments that question what politics is, exactly, what kind of community it engages, what people are contained therein and what those people are capable of. Politics, for Jacques Rancière, is the impulse that either sparks or stalls a movement.
"Moments Politiques" collects the short essays and interviews of Jacques Rancière from a span of over thirty years, 1977 to 2009. Sparked by specific events in European and world news and written as they were happening, these pieces suggest that what we might think is inevitable might not be, and what we assume could never happen can. By examining the issues in which political moments arise, such as 9/11, the passage of new immigration laws, and even Foucault's death, Rancière opens us up to reimagining and re-charting the map of the possible.
