Politics of Literature
"By 'politics of literature' Rancière means the intervention of the new democratic literature of modernity in the parceling out of space and time. There is more than one democracy at stake here, and no one has tracked their competing claims and contradictory vocations more brilliantly than Rancière. Every page of this riveting work illuminates and challenges. This is Rancière at his scintillating best."
J.M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research
The politics of literature is not the same as the politics of writers and their commitments, nor does it concern the way writers represent social structures or political struggles. The expression 'politics of literature' assumes that there is a specific connection between politics as a form of collective practice and literature as a historically determined regime of the art of writing.
