The theorists of art and film commonly depict the modern audience
as aesthetically and politically passive. In response, both artists
and thinkers have sought to transform the spectator into an active
agent and the spectacle into a communal performance. In this
follow-up to the acclaimed The Future of the Image, Ranciere takes
a radically different approach to this attempted emancipation.
First asking exactly what we mean by political art or the politics
of art, he goes on to look at what the tradition of critical art,
and the desire to insert art into life, has achieved. Has the
militant critique of the consumption of images and commodities
become, ironically, a sad affirmation of its omnipotence?
