The Future of the Image Summary

The Future of the Image by Jacques Ranciere

In The Future of the Image, Jacques Ranciere develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined. He argues that there is a stark political choice in art: it can either reinforce a radical democracy or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Ranciere there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.

The Future of the Image Reviews

Like all of Jacques Ranciere's texts, The Future of the Image is vertiginously precise. * Les Cahiers du Cinema *
Ranciere's writings offer one of the few conceptualizations of how we are to continue to resist. -- Slavoj Zizek
What we see here is Ranciere developing a unique voice as a political theorist. * Bookforum *
French philosopher Jacques Ranciere is a refreshing read for anyone concerned with what art has to do with politics and society. * Art Review *
It's clear that Jacques Ranciere is relighting the flame that was extinguished for many--that is why he serves as such a signal reference today. -- Thomas Hirschhorn
A series of gratifyingly knotty and close discussions of nineteenth and twentieth century literature, film and painting. * Guardian *
Much of the value of Ranciere's writings on art and aesthetics arises from his initial refusal of terms that are self-evident to the point of invisibility. -- Frieze
It is too simplistic to say that Jacques Ranciere is the anti-Bourdieu. But it is not inaccurate. Robustly conceptual where Bourdieu is empirical, abstractly philosophical where Bourdieu was sociologically precise, he offers a recasting of aesthetic questions that attempts implicitly to rescue the category of the aesthetic from the learned helplessness, or cynical reason, in which Bourdieu left it. -- Nicholas Dames * n+1 *
