Book Overview
In Ranci re's Sentiments Davide Panagia explores Jacques Ranci re's aesthetics of politics as it informs his radical democratic theory of participation. Attending to diverse practices of everyday living and doing--of form, style, and scenography--in Ranci re's writings, Panagia characterizes Ranci re as a sentimental thinker for whom the aesthetic is indistinguishable from the political. Rather than providing prescriptions for political judgment and action, Ranci re focuses on how sensibilities and perceptions constitute dynamic relations between persons and the worlds they create. Panagia traces this approach by examining Ranci re's modernist sensibilities, his theory of radical mediation, the influence of Gustave Flaubert on Ranci re's literary voice, and how Ranci re juxtaposes seemingly incompatible objects and phenomena to create moments of sensorial disorientation. The power of Ranci re's work, Panagia demonstrates, lies in its ability to leave readers with a disjunctive sensibility of the world and what political thinking is and can be.
