Politics of images in Jacques Rancière
Keywords:

Abstract
Taking as a starting point the images that have played an outstanding role in J. Rancière’s work, especially in a group of images where the woman’s face or body is portrayed, a comparison is drawn between the aesthetics of J. Rancière and J. F. Lyotard. If we turn to M. Jay’s study about apocalyptic imagination and Rancière’s critique to the apocalyptic concept of time, we find that two images in conflict of the same split female figure are opposed. These two visions of the woman’s body, two versions of the mother figure, correspond to two different concepts of the politics of image.Downloads
