As ever, Rancière challenges all patterns of thought in which one-time radicalism has become empty convention.“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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Rancière’s writings offer one of the few consistent conceptualizations of how we are to continue to resist.”—Slavoj Žižek\u003cb\u003eJacques Rancière\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris-VIII.
