Lessons of Ranciere

Zusatztext This is a remarkably deft engagement with Ranciere and his interpreters. Chambers persistently refuses to let the latter capture Ranciere for their particular projects, stressing rather his distinctiveness and radicality. In fact, we discover that there are no enumerable 'lessons' to be learned; only a set of unruly challenges to established positions in contemporary political theory. This book sparkles with insights.
