The Politics of Aesthetics rethinks the relationship between art and politics reclaiming
"aesthetics" from the narrow confines it is often reduced to. Jacques Rancière reveals its
intrinsic link to politics by analysing what they both have in common: the delimitation of the
visible and the invisible the audible and the inaudible the thinkable and the unthinkable
the possible and the impossible. Presented as a set of inter-linked interviews The Politics of
Aesthetics provides the most comprehensive introduction to Rancière's work to date ranging
across the history of art and politics from the Greek polis to the aesthetic revolution of the
modern age. Available now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series 10 years after its original
publication The Politics of Aesthetics includes an afterword by Slavoj Zizek an interview for
the English edition a glossary of technical terms and an extensive bibliography.
