Ranciere Now (Hardcover)

The French philosopher Jacques Ranci re 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 Ranci re's thought in a range of practical and theoretical contexts. These specially commissioned essays cover the complete history of Ranci re'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'. Ranci re'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, Genevi ve Fraisse, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jeremy Lane, and many more. The book also includes a brand new interview with Ranci re, reflecting on his intellectual project and developing new lines of thought from his latest major work, Aisthesis. Ranci re Now will be essential reading for students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences; it will stimulate and inspire discussion of Ranci re's work for years to come.
