Reviews
Ranciere's writings offer one of the few conceptualizations of how we are to continue to resist. -- Slavoj Zizek
His art lies in the rigor of his argument-its careful, precise unfolding-and at the same time not treating
his reader, whether university professor or unemployed actress, as an imbecile. -- Kristin Ross
In the face of impossible attempts to proceed with progressive ideas within the terms of postmodernist
discourse, Ranciere shows a way out of the malaise. -- Liam Gillick
Whether detailing Bela Tarr's signature panning shots or the role of flames in Vincente Minnelli, Ranciere is a passionate and acute cinephile. -- Alberto Toscano * Film Quarterly *
