Even those who take themselves to be breaking from tradition-from
the metaphysical tradition of philosophy, from grand narratives,
neoliberalism or Eurocentrism-can remain blindly attached to them.
Art, Politics and Ranciere: Broken Perspectives provides an account
of how works of art can, but do not necessarily, interrupt dominant
narratives. Inspired by Jacques Ranciere, Tina Chanter assumes his
work as a starting point. She presents a rigorous and appreciative
critique of Ranciere's story of aesthetics, paying close attention
to gender and race. Along with the relationship between the
unconscious and the political, perception is a key theme
throughout, used to address questions such as 'How do some things
become visible, while other things remain invisible?' 'What does it
take for something to be seen, and why do other things elude
visibility?' Alongside illuminating discussions of Ranciere,
Heidegger and Levinas are informed accounts of artists Ingrid
Mwangi, Phillip Noyce, Ingrid Pollard, and Gillian Wearing.
Outlining the basis of a new political aesthetic, Art, Politics and
Ranciere develops an original philosophical consideration that is
sensitive to race and gender, yet not reducible to these concerns.
