“To understand RanciÈre, Panagia argues, is to set aside the search for prescriptive constructs and instead embrace the aesthetic sensibilities that create the world. Recommended.” - L. A. Wilkinson (Choice) "Davide Panagia has written a complex and pathbreaking book that engages the work of democratic theorist Jacques RanciÈre in order to redefine what it means to practice democracy. RanciÈre’s Sentiments is not an introduction to RanciÈre’s oeuvre, but rather a book that grapples with his most difficult ideas in order to challenge established assumptions about how politics comes to be known, felt, and practiced." - Elisabeth Anker (Perspectives on Politics) "RanciÈre’s Sentiments is a whistle-stop tour of aesthetics in the work of Jacques RanciÈre. . . . Davide Panagia skillfully meshes a scenic narrative, wending his way through four chapters, each exploring a different line of division that RanciÈre’s writing puts into question." - Clare Woodford (Review of Politics) "I would recommend Davide Panagia's RanciÈre's Sentiments without hesitation to any researcher in literature, political science, or philosophy who seeks an articulate presentation of RanciÈre's very particular manner of thinking and arguing. Panagia has done a superb job of navigating through and illuminating the various constellations that characterize RanciÈre's thought, while maintaining the sense and the feel of a manner of thinking that elide closure." - David F. Bell (H-France, H-Net Reviews)
