In The Future of the Image, Jacques Ranciere develops a fascinating new concept of the image in contemporary art, showing how art and politics have always been intrinsically intertwined.
He argues that there is a stark political choice in art: it can either reinforce a radical democracy or create a new reactionary mysticism.
For Ranciere there is never a pure art: the aesthetic revolution must always embrace egalitarian ideals.
