New collection of essays on Rancière
Dr. Oliver Davis, Associate Professor in the Department of French Studies, has edited an important new collection of specially commissioned critical essays on Rancière, published by Polity Press. Oliver has also contributed an essay and a substantial interview with Rancière to the volume. The essays encompass Rancière’s early historical research of the 1960s and '70s, his critique of pedagogy and his later political theory of dissensus and disagreement, his ongoing analysis of literature and 'the aesthetic regime of art', his resistance to psychoanalytic thinking, and his recent publications on film and film theory.
