Summary

This lively and thought-provoking collection of interviews with Jacques Rancière provides the reader with an incisive overview of his philosophical project, from its beginnings during the Red Years in France to its most recent formulations. It supplements Rancière's scholarly and theoretical works with his reflections on the continuities, turns, ruptures and deviations in his thought. In a conversational style replete with informative asides into current events Dissenting Words draws upon examples ranging from the history of the workers' struggle to literature, cinema and the arts - all of which we have learned to associate with Rancière.
