Divides are most evident between those that see scales as 'already existing' and those considering this as a form of 'ontological reification' that stifles our understanding of politics. I suggest that reading the 'politics of scale' through Jacques Rancière's political thinking, and in particular his aesthetic approach to the problem of ontological reductionism, can offer one way forward. It enables geographers to take existing 'common-sense' ideas around scale seriously whilst also being sensitive to emergent politics.

The text explores alternative proposals to the sovereign theory of the court subject illustrated with the proposals of Michel Foucault and Jacques Ranciere, opposing both critical perspectives. Understand the modes of subjectivation in politics as de-identification of an order of the sensible, and subjectifications such as normalization and subjection, are the theses that are explored in this work. ; El texto explora las propuestas alternativas a la teoría soberana del sujeto de corte ilustrado con las propuestas de Michel Foucault y de Jacques Ranciere, contraponiendo ambas perspectivas críticas. Comprender los modos de subjetivación en la política como des-identificación de un orden de lo sensible, y las subjetivaciones como normalización y sujeción, son las tesis que se exploran en este trabajo.

Jacques Rancièe places equality at the forefront of emancipatory political thought. This book locates the historical and critical sources of Rancière's politics and aesthetics in the modern period. Drawing on Rancière's suggestion that egalitarian politics persistently appropriates elements from political philosophy to engage new forms of dissensus, Shaw uncovers a series of egalitarian moments from the histories of modern philosophy and aesthetics, and goes on to examine Rancière's debates with Badiou, psychoanalysis, and Marxism. From the Cartesian bonsens, through the aesthetics of Schiller and Benjamin, to an important revaluation of existentialism and Marxism, this is a concise tour through the subterranean currents of the history of egalitarianism. The first book to reconstruct Rancière's relationship to Cartesianism and existentialism, and his ideas of equality in relation to aesthetics and politics, this is essential reading for students of philosophy, studying continental philosophy, aesthetics, cultural theory and cultural studies

Even those who take themselves to be breaking from tradition-from the metaphysical tradition of philosophy, from grand narratives, neoliberalism or Eurocentrism-can remain blindly attached to them. Art, Politics and Ranciere: Broken Perspectives provides an account of how works of art can, but do not necessarily, interrupt dominant narratives. Inspired by Jacques Ranciere, Tina Chanter assumes his work as a starting point. She presents a rigorous and appreciative critique of Ranciere's story of aesthetics, paying close attention to gender and race. Along with the relationship between the unconscious and the political, identity politics, phenomenology and perception are key themes throughout, used to address questions such as 'How do some things become visible, while other things remain invisible?' and 'What does it take for something to be seen, and why do other things elude visibility?' Alongside illuminating discussions of Ranciere, Heidegger and Levinas are informed accounts of artists Ingrid Mwangi, Phillip Noyce, Ingrid Pollard, and Gillian Wearing. Outlining the basis of a new political aesthetic, Art, Politics and Ranciere, develops an original philosophical consideration that is sensitive to race and gender, yet not reducible to these concerns
