Like all of Jacques Rancière's texts, <i>The Future of the Image</i> is vertiginously precise.

Les Cahiers du Cinema

Ranciere's writings offer one of the few conceptualizations of how we are to continue to resist.

- Slavoj Zizek,

What we see here is Ranciere developing a unique voice as a political theorist.

Se alle

French philosopher Jacques Ranciere is a refreshing read for anyone concerned with what art has to do with politics and society.

Art Review

It's clear that Jacques Ranciere is relighting the flame that was extinguished for many--that is why he serves as such a signal reference today.

- Thomas Hirschhorn,

A series of gratifyingly knotty and close discussions of nineteenth and twentieth century literature, film and painting.

Guardian

"Much of the value of Rancière's writings on art and aesthetics arises from his initial refusal of terms that are self-evident to the point of invisibility. "

- Frieze,

"It is too simplistic to say that Jacques Rancière is the anti-Bourdieu. But it is not inaccurate. Robustly conceptual where Bourdieu is empirical, abstractly philosophical where Bourdieu was sociologically precise, he offers a recasting of aesthetic questions that attempts implicitly to rescue the category of the aesthetic from the learned helplessness, or cynical reason, in which Bourdieu left it."

- Nicholas Dames, n+1

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. He argues that there is a stark political choice in art: it can either reinforce a radical democracy or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Rancière there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.
