Lauded by major contemporary artists and philosophers, Jacques Rancière’s work returns politics to its central place in understanding art.
In The Future of the Image, Jacques Rancière develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined. Covering a range of art movements, filmmakers such as Godard and Bresson, and thinkers such as Foucault, Deleuze, Adorno, Barthes, Lyotard and Greenberg, Rancière shows that contemporary theorists of the image are suffering from religious tendencies.
He argues that there is a stark political choice in it can either reinforce a radical democracy, or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Rancière there is never a pure the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.
