The essays show how Ranci?re's ideas can be used to analyse contemporary trends in both art and politics, including the events surrounding 9\/11, war in the contemporary consensual age, and the ethical turn of aesthetics and politics. Ranci?re elaborates new directions for the concepts of politics and communism, as well as the notion of what a 'politics of art' might be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis important collection includes several essays that have never previously been published in English, as well as a brand new afterword. Together these essays serve as a superb introduction to the work of one of the world's most influential contemporary thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Rancière\u003c\/b\u003e taught at the University of Paris VIII, France, from 1969 to 2000, occupying the Chair of Aesthetics and Politics from 1990 until his retirement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Corcoran\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and translator living in Berlin.
