Jacques Rancière: The Politics of Aesthetics: The Distribution of the Sensible (2000-)
Filed under book | Tags: · aesthetics, art, art theory, avant-garde, philosophy, politics, subjectivation
“The Politics of Aesthetics rethinks the relationship between art and politics, reclaiming “aesthetics” from the narrow confines it is often reduced to. Jacques Rancière reveals its intrinsic link to politics by analysing what they both have in common: the delimitation of the visible and the invisible, the audible and the inaudible, the thinkable and the unthinkable, the possible and the impossible.
Presented as a set of inter-linked interviews, The Politics of Aesthetics provides the most comprehensive introduction to Rancière’s work to date, ranging across the history of art and politics from the Greek polis to the aesthetic revolution of the modern age.”
First published as Le partage du sensible: esthétique et politique, La Fabrique, 2000.
