Over the past 40 years, Jacques Rancière's work has defined itself through a remarkable set of philosophical differences in relation to other key figures working in the fields of politics, philosophy and aesthetics. There have been significant philosophical, theoretical and aesthetic disagreements with influential figures in contemporary thought, including Althusser, Bourdieu, Derrida, Agamben, Deleuze, Foucault, Habermas and Badiou. Through these differences Rancière has emerged as one of the world's leading contemporary theorists. Whilst Rancière has long been a well-known force in francopho

During the last few years, interest in the thought of French poststructuralist philosophers has grown. Jacques Rancière, a representative of this tradition, has attracted considerable attention, leading to the translation of two important books by him in German: Die Nacht der Proletarier and Die Lektion Althussers. The article uses these two new publications and the book Das Unvernehmen to describe important milestones in the development of Rancière's political philosophy. Tracing Rancière's shift away from Althusser and his theory of political subjectivity, the text proposes a reading of Rancière that highlights the constitution of a subjectivity that challenges existing orders in our society.

"The contemporary philosopher Jacques Rancière has become over the last two decades one of the most influential voices in 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 in the nineteenth 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."--
