Jacques Rancière 
The Future of the Image 

In
The Future of the Image, Jacques Ranci�re develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined. He argues that there is a stark political choice in art: it can either reinforce a radical democracy or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Ranci�re there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.
