Le destin des images
Jacques Rancière Tradotto da: Gregory Elliott
Sinossi
A leading philosopher presents a radical manifesto for the future of art and film.
In The Future of the Image, Jacques Ranci&232;re develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined. Covering a range of art movements, and thinkers such as Foucault, Deleuze, Adorno, Barthes, Lyotard and Greenberg, Ranci&232;re argues that contemporary theorists of the image are suffering from religious tendencies. He suggests that there is a stark political choice in art: it can either reinforce a radical democracy, or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Ranci&232;re there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution will always embrace egalitarian ideals.
