Here are some links to various sets of notes on
some Ranciere's own works, some of my notes on
some commentaries on Ranciere, and some comments
of my own as try-outs for my own publications
My notes on Rancière's own works
Please note:
these are my notes and comments on the various
works. Of course they reflect my interests. I
add specific comments in square brackets. The
notes are no substitute for reading the real
thing, but are there to give you an idea of the
contents so you can prioritize.

dense and self-referencing debates about

My commentaries
Although I have separated out the critiques of
Marx and Bourdieu and others, it is possible
to see that they are connected. The radical
emancipatory pedagogue needs two elements:
analysis of the unfairness,inequality and
exploitativeness of capitalism or equivalent;
an explanation of why ordinary punters do not
see that their real interests lie in radial
revolution. The latter element leads to a need
for radical education to overcome
misrecognition. The generally low estimate of
the ability of punters to see what is hidden
means this is often explicatory education,
sometimes authoritarian, and it also involves
claiming a privilege for particular academic
specialisms -- marxism, philosophy or
sociology. Learning these also requires years
of education and submission.
