Over the past 40 years, Jacques Ranciere's work has defined itself
through a remarkable set of philosophical differences in relation
to other key figures working in the fields of politics, philosophy
and aesthetics. There have been significant philosophical,
theoretical and aesthetic disagreements with influential figures in
contemporary thought, including Althusser, Bourdieu, Derrida,
Agamben, Deleuze, Foucault, Habermas and Badiou. Through these
differences Ranciere has emerged as one of the world's leading
contemporary theorists. Whilst Ranciere has long been a well-known
force in francophone contexts, the translation of his works into
English has generated a lot of excitement and catapulted him to the
forefront of attention in several putatively distinct but
interconnected fields: philosophy, politics, critical theory,
aesthetics and film. Reading Ranciere intervenes in this ongoing
discourse by assembling an eminent collection of critical
assessments of the significance of Ranciere's diverse impact and
growing influence. This book offers a sustained, critically
balanced response to the work of this major contemporary theorist,
as well as a new interview and a key text published here for the
first time.
