Jacques Rancière’s work is increasingly central to several debates across the humanities. Distributions of the Sensible confronts a question at the heart of his thought: How should we conceive the relationship between the “politics of aesthetics” and the “aesthetics of politics”? Specifically, the book explores the implications of Rancière’s rethinking of the relationship of aesthetic to political democracy from a wide range of critical perspectives.Distributions of the Sensible contains original essays by leading scholars on topics such as Rancière’s relation to political theory, critical theory, philosophical aesthetics, and film. The book concludes with a new essay by Rancière himself that reconsiders the practice of theory between aesthetics and politics.

The contemporary philosopher Jacques Rancière has become over the last two decades one of the most influential voices in philosophy, political theory, and literary, art historical, and film criticism. His work reexamines the divisions that have defined our understanding of modernity, such as art and politics, representation and abstraction, and literature and philosophy. Working across these divisions, he engages the historical roots of modernism at the end of the eighteenth century, uncovering forgotten texts in the archive that trouble our notions of intellectual history. The contributors to Understanding Rancière, Understanding Modernism engage with the multiplicity of Rancière's thought through close readings of his texts, through comparative readings with other philosophers, and through an engagement with modernist works of art and literature. The final section of the volume includes an extended glossary of the most important terms used by Rancière, which will be a valuable resource for experts and students alike.

Le présent livre tente de contribuer à la recherche d'une réponse complexe à la question de savoir comment penser le visible aujourd'hui, et comment penser son partage. Pour élaborer cette réponse, le problème a été resitué dans le débat autour de la représentation et mis en corrélation avec un questionnement de la visualité ; cette dernière étant entendue comme l'un des enjeux de la philosophie politique contemporaine. La méthode mise en oeuvre consiste à repenser la conception philosophique de la représentation formulée par Michel Foucault et reprise par Jacques Rancière. L'enjeu principal est de proposer un nouveau mode d'analyse des énoncés (textes expliquant les images légitimement visibles) et des visibilités (images sélectionnées en tant qu'illustrations pertinentes des textes) au niveau des archives. L'étude d'un cas particulier - celui d'un double traitement officiel des photographies documentaires prises au cours la période de la normalisation en Slovaquie - révèle le fait que ni à l'époque du régime autoritaire de normalisation ni à l'époque contemporaine dite de démocratie, le partage légitime du visible n'est possible sans fixer certaines normes de représentation qui fonctionnent comme les limites politiques de la vision. Dans le cadre d'une visualité, aucun partage du savoir par l'intermédiaire de l'image n'est possible sans intervention de la parole et sans production des représentations.

This book is a critical introduction to contemporary French philosopher Jacques Rancière. It is the first introduction in any language to cover all of his major work and offers an accessible presentation and searching evaluation of his significant contributions to the fields of politics, pedagogy, history, literature, film theory and aesthetics. This book traces the emergence of Rancière's thought over the last forty-five years and situates it in the diverse intellectual contexts in which it intervenes. Beginning with his egalitarian critique of his former teacher Louis Althusser, the book tracks the subsequent elaboration of Rancière's highly original conception of equality. This approach reveals that a grasp of his early archival and historiographical work is vital for a full understanding both of his later politics and his ongoing investigation of art and aesthetics. Along the way, this book explains and analyses key terms in Rancière's very distinctive philosophical lexicon, including the 'police' order, 'disagreement', 'political subjectivation', 'literarity', the 'part which has no part', the 'regimes of art' and 'the distribution of the sensory'. This book argues that Rancière's work sets a new standard in contestatory critique and concludes by reflecting on the philosophical and policy implications of his singular project.
