'eoeFrench philosopher Jacques Rancière is a refreshing read for anyone concerned with what art has to do with politics and society.'e�, "Jacques Rancière's Aisthesis transforms the field of aesthetic philosophy."-- Libération "French philosopher Jacques Rancière is a refreshing read for anyone concerned with what art has to do with politics and society."-- Art Review "In the face of impossible attempts to proceed with progressive ideas within the terms of postmodernist discourse, Rancière shows a way out of the malaise."--Liam Gillick "It's clear that Jacques Rancière is relighting the flame that was extinguished for many--that is why he serves as such a signal reference today."--Thomas Hirschhorn "Far from the grand narratives of modernism that claim the language of art progresses in the search for purity ... modernity breaks down the hierarchy between spheres of culture, disturbing the boundaries between art and life ...

Synopsis
Composed in a series of scenes, Aisthesis .Ranci.re.s definitive statement on the aesthetic.takes its reader from Dresden in 1764 to New York in 1941. Along the way, we view the Belvedere Torso with Winckelmann, accompany Hegel to the museum and Mallarm. to the Folies-Berg.re, attend a lecture by Emerson, visit exhibitions in Paris and New York, factories in Berlin, and film sets in Moscow and Hollywood. Ranci.re uses these sites and events.some famous, others forgotten.to ask what becomes art and what comes of it. He shows how a regime of artistic perception and interpretation was constituted and transformed by erasing the specificities of the different arts, as well as the borders that separated them from ordinary experience. This incisive study provides a history of artistic modernity far removed from the conventional postures of modernism., Composed in a series of scenes, Aisthesis -Rancière's definitive statement on the aesthetic-takes its reader from Dresden in 1764 to New York in 1941.

    Shipped super quickly and was packed very securely (in a plastic sheath, then tightly bound in plastic wrap to a cardboard piece that kept the book from being bent in transit, and put in a bubble mailer). The book itself is exactly as described and is one I've been looking to add to my collection for a long time. Thank you!!
