An essential analysis of cinema from one of the great figures of French philosophy
Jacques Rancière is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris-VIII. His books include Aisthesis, On the Shores of Politics, Proletarian Nights, The Future of the Image, and The Emancipated Spectator.
Rancière's writings offer one of the few conceptualizations of how
we are to continue to resist.
*Slavoj Zizek*
His art lies in the rigor of his argument-its careful, precise
unfolding-and at the same time not treating
his reader, whether university professor or unemployed actress, as
an imbecile.
*Kristin Ross*
In the face of impossible attempts to proceed with progressive
ideas within the terms of postmodernist
discourse, Rancière shows a way out of the malaise.
*Liam Gillick*
Whether detailing Bela Tarr's signature panning shots or the role
of flames in Vincente Minnelli, Rancière is a passionate and acute
cinephile.
*Film Quarterly*
