Jacques Rancière 
The Intellectual and His People 
Staging the People Volume 2

A classic collection of essay by Jacques Ranciere, that focuses on the ways in which radical philosophers understand the people they profess to speak for.
The Intellectual and His People engages in an incisive and original way with current political and cultural issues, including the ‘discovery’ of totalitarianism by the ‘new philosophers, ‘ the relationship of Sartre and Foucault to popular struggles, nostalgia for the ebbing world of the factory, the slippage of the artistic avant-garde into defending corporate privilege, and the ambiguous sociological critique of Pierre Bourdieu. As ever, Ranci�re challenges all patterns of thought in which one-time radicalism has become empty convention.
