What Times Are We Living In?
«�Jacques Rancière�s work is renowned, as he once put it, for �leaving the noisy stage of political claims and doctrines and sinking into the depths of the social�. But at the same time, he firmly rejects the simplistic oppositions to which so many thinkers fall prey overthrowing institutions versus pre-figurative practice, art versus everyday life. In this lively discussion with Eric Hazan, Rancière displays once again the power of his subtle form of social and philosophical analysis, illuminating some of the central questions of democracy, representation and political strategy that confront us today.�

In this short book, Jacques Ranciere takes stock of the state of contemporary politics and examines current developments in the light of his writings. Ranciere takes issue with what he sees as the consolidation in recent years of an increasingly oligarchic class of professional politicians within the system of representative democracy, while simultaneously objecting to leftist animosity towards electoral politics.

Presented in the form of a dialogue between Jacques Ranciere and Eric Hazan, this timely reflection by one of the most influential radical thinkers writing today will be of interest to a wide readership.
