Reading Ranciere by Paul Bowman
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. This book offers a critically balanced response to the work of this major contemporary theorist.
"Jacques Rancière's ongoing provocations have sharpened our engagements with the relations between politics and aesthetics in ways that merit serious attentionReading Rancière delivers the goods - a rounded and balanced collection which critically probes Rancière's work from many different perspectives. If you read Rancière, read this too." - Tony Bennett, University of Western Sydney, Australia
"The contributors to this book follow Ranciere's example in being non-reductive, critical and interventionist, including those who disagree with aspects of his work. The book is a significant examination of the dissensus that organises the Rancierian situation and demonstrates the urgent need to sustain it. Anyone interested in the productivity of Ranciere's thought will be rewarded by the contributions to this intelligent and imaginative collection." - Jeremy Valentine, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, UK
