Distributions of the Sensible : Ranciere, between Aesthetics and Politics by Nico Baumbach

Jacques Ranci?re'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 Ranci?re'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 Ranci?re's relation to political theory, critical theory, philosophical aesthetics, and film. The book concludes with a new essay by Ranci?re himself that reconsiders the practice of theory between aesthetics and politics.
