This book is a critical introduction to contemporary French philosopher Jacques Ranciere. It is the first introduction in any language to cover all of his major work and offers an accessible presentation and searching evaluation of his significant contributions to the fields of politics, pedagogy, history, literature, film theory and aesthetics. This book traces the emergence of Ranciere’s thought over the last forty-five years and situates it in the diverse intellectual contexts in which it intervenes. Beginning with his egalitarian critique of his former teacher Louis Althusser, the book tracks the subsequent elaboration of Ranciere’s highly original conception of equality. This approach reveals that a grasp of his early archival and historiographical work is vital for a full understanding both of his later politics and his ongoing investigation of art and aesthetics. Along the way, this book explains and analyses key terms in Ranciere’s very distinctive philosophical lexicon, including the ‘police’ order, ‘disagreement’, ‘political subjectivation’, ‘literarity’, the ‘part which has no part’, the ‘regimes of art’ and ‘the distribution of the sensory’. This book argues that Ranciere’s work sets a new standard in contestatory critique and concludes by reflecting on the philosophical and policy implications of his singular project.

Partiendo del pensamiento de Jacques Ranciere, este libro se enfoca en el caracter performatico que subyace a las practicas, las palabras y las teorias en lo que respecta a la construccion de comunidades sensibles ineditas y al modo particular en que los seres nos transmitimos unos a otros la actualizacion de nuestras capacidades y el contagio de nuestras potencias. En este sentido, no es un libro sobre el poder, sino sobre la potencia que nace de una inteligencia en comun o, si se prefiere, de un comunismo de las inteligencias. Este comunismo funciona como un presupuesto, como una poetica o una abstraccion que puede siempre materializarse, pues lo que hombres y mujeres compartimos a la hora de emanciparnos no es la lucha singular por una causa en comun, sino una lucha en comun por causas que nos son singulares. Federico Galende retoma en Ranciere el tema del pueblo y la puesta en comun de formas de experimentacion que son singulares, viejo dilema al que este libro aporta nuevas preguntas.
