Just out: a new special issue of Space & Polity on the thought of Jacques Ranciere and how it might be useful for political action today. I edited the special issue, which includes articles by:
Erik Swyngedouw:
Where is the political? Insurgent mobilisations and the incipient “return of the political”
Mark Davidson and Kurt Iveson:
Occupations, mediations, subjectifications: fabricating politics
Paul Hanson:
Cleveland’s Hough riots of 1966: ghettoisation and egalitarian (re)inscription
Mark Purcell:
Rancière and revolution
Kate Booth and Stewart Williams:
A more-than-human political moment (and other natural catastrophes)
You can find more information, and abstracts, here.
My introduction to the special issue is available free to the first 50 people who ask for it, which you can do here. My long article, “Ranciere and Revolution,” argues that we need to augment Ranciere with Deleuze and Guattari’s political thought. It is available as well, though I can’t find a reprint link in my Taylor and Francis account, so you can just e-mail me to get that one.
Path to the Possible 
Ranciere is perhaps my favorite still living French philosopher. I hope he lives another 20 years at least.
I am also liking Abensour more and more…
