> Marxism to cinema and literature, including La Haine de la démocratie 
> (2005, Hatred of Democracy, 2007), La Mésentente (1995, Disagreement. 
> Politics and Philosophy, 1998) and La Fable cinématographique (2005, 
> Film Fables, 2006). He is also a contributor to Les Cahiers du cinéma.
> Rancière’s interest in visual culture and the relation between 
> politics and aesthetics, two fields he perceives as inherently 
> belonging to one another rather than being autonomous, is the subject 
> of two recent books: Le Partage du sensible, Esthétique et politique 
> (2000 The Politics of Aesthetics, 2004), and Malaise dans l’esthétique 
> (2004) that have elicited wide-ranging responses from within many 
> disciplines. In this two-day event, Jacques Rancière will reflect upon 
> his conception of the relation between aesthetics and politics. On 
> Tuesday 20 June, he will give an hour-long lecture followed by 
> questions. On Wednesday 21 June, nine critics and academics from 
> various disciplines will present papers in which they respond to 
> Rancière’s ideas and engage into a dialogue with these recent 
> publications.
