Reviews

In addition to highlighting the range and influence of Ranciere's work, these essays confirm the rigour, richness, and robust critical independence of the responses this work is now inspiring. As a result, this collection not only offers a compelling account of current work around Ranciere: it relaunches this work anew. * Martin Crowley, Reader in Modern French Thought and Culture, University of Cambridge, UK * Deviating wisely down the byways of Ranciere's writing by attending closely to the textual and conceptual singularity of a significant constellation of hitherto less extensively debated works, this collection does indeed provide invaluable new understanding of his unfailingly productive struggle with modernism. The volume is suffused with that acutely responsive sensitivity to the shifting displacements of his unclassifiable project which Ranciere speaks of in the substantial and wide-ranging closing interview. * Oliver Davis, Reader in French Studies, University of Warwick, UK * A cornucopia of some of the best critical minds working in French theory today. It contains a challenging yet highly accessible collection of essays that illuminate the importance of one of the most important theorists of today. Patrick M. Bray has done a masterful job in editing a collection that will have a long shelf life. * Lawrence D. Kritzman, John D. Willard Prof of French and Comparative Literature, Dartmouth College, USA *
