About The Politics of Aesthetics
The Politics of Aesthetics rethinks the relationship between art and politics, reclaiming"aesthetics" from the narrow confines it is often reduced to. Jacques Rancire revealsits intrinsic link to politics by analysing what they both have in common: the delimitation ofthe visible and the invisible, the audible and the inaudible, the thinkable and theunthinkable, the possible and the impossible.
Presented as a set of inter-linked interviews, The Politics of Aesthetics provides the mostcomprehensive introduction to Rancire's work to date, ranging across the history of artand politics from the Greek polis to the aesthetic revolution of the modern age.
Already translated into five languages, this English edition of The Politics of Aestheticsincludes a new afterword by Slavoj Zizek, an interview for the English edition, a glossaryof technical terms and an extensive bibliography.

"Jacques Rancire is one of the most important and original contemporary Frenchphilosophers. This book provides perhaps the best available introduction to his thought inEnglish. Its main contents are two interviews with Rancire...they provide anextraordinarily concise and systematic summary by Rancire of the main themes of hisrecent work across its whole range. Rancire's project is promising. It is illuminating to seeaesthetics as political and politics in aesthetic terms, as a form of the 'distribution of thesensible.'" -Culture Machine Culture Machine,
"[A]n excellent introduction to Jacques Rancire...Slavoj iek writes in his afterword:'Rancire's thought is today more actual than ever: in our time of the disorientation of theleft, his writings offer one of the few consistent conceptualizations of how we are tocontinue to exist.'" - London Review of Books, August 3, 2006 London Review ofBooks,
'Locating the political significance of art has not only gone out of fashion, it has in recentyears become a source of embarrassment. No one has argued against this repressionwith more precision, nuance, and undeniable force than Jacques RanciFre ... This book,with an emphatic "Afterword" by iPek, provides a riveting and compelling outline of thecentral elements of RanciFres politics of aesthetics and its relation to his demandingrethinking of the political.' J.M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research Blurb fromreviewer
'A benchmark, this compact book shows why RanciFre is one of the most compellingthinkers and writers in France since Michel Foucault adn Gilles Deleuze.' Tom Conley,Harvard University Blurb from reviewer
'This is possibly the most important essay, despite its length, since Adorno's AestheticTheory.' Adrian Rifkin, Professor of Visual Culture, Middlesex Blurb from reviewer
'A tour de force! Through a revitalisation of the term 'aesthetics', Ranciere is able to raisenovel questions concerning the nature of history, the sense of our modernity, therelationship between work and art and between science and art, and the peculiarity ofaesthetic experience (showing, in essence, that it cannot be contained but informs all ourforms of life and activities).' Keith Ansell Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, WarwickUniversity Blurb from reviewer
'The readership for Ranciere's work is highly interdisciplinary. Le Partage du sensiblewould be obligatory reading in graduate courses in Philosophy, Aesthetics, PoliticalScience, French Studies, Literature, and Cultural Studies, where it would be read in thecontext of other major thinkers of politics and aesthetics such as Walter Benjamin, Jean-Paul Sartre, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Etienne Balibar, Michel Foucault, PaulRicoeur, Jurgen Habermas, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Slavoj Zizek.' Kristin Ross,Professor of Comparative Literature, New York University Blurb from reviewer
'RanciFre has insightful and novel things to say about the problems that beset ourunderstanding of modernity as it applies to art.' Modern Painters, March 2005 Blurb from reviewer
