The Philosophy of Radical Equality
«This finely tuned collection of writings from some of the most astute readers of Jacques Rancière throughout the world not only engages the analytics of his work, but put his insights to work.

In short, Deranty and Ross have edited a stellar set of essays that will become a primary source for anyone interested in the singularly unique, multidisciplinary aspects of Rancière's critical ideas.»

«This collection of essays is a testament to the breadth and depth of the influence of Rancière's project to date. Staged as a series of specific interventions into the various fields that he has engaged with-ranging from film theory and aesthetics to history, pedagogy, politics, work and emancipation-it provides the reader with a kaleidoscope of perspectives that appropriately mirrors Rancière's forceful impact on the contemporary scene. The final essay is a fitting capstone to this important collection since Rancière himself provides a sustained reflection on his own asystematic work as an idiosyncratic analysis of the work of dissensus that is at one and the same time a performative manifestation thereof.»
