Klappentext In The Future of the Image , Jacques Rancière develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined.

For Rancière there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.
