Jacques Rancière, University of Paris (St. Denis)

• Original Sources Hypotheses - The Politics of Literature - Literary Misunderstanding Figures - The Putting to Death of Emma Bovary: Literature, Democracy and Medicine - On the Battlefield: Tolstoy, Literature, History - The Intruder: Mallarmé's Politics - The Gay Science of Bertolt Brecht - Borges and French Disease Crossings - The Truth Through the Window: Literary Truth, Freudian Truth - The historian, literature and the genre of biography - The Poet at the philosopher's: Mallarmé and Badiou

"By 'politics of literature' Rancière means the intervention of the new democratic literature of modernity in the parceling out of space and time. There is more than one democracy at stake here, and no one has tracked their competing claims and contradictory vocations more brilliantly than Rancière. Every page of this riveting work illuminates and challenges. This is Rancière at his scintillating best."J.M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research
