A video of a lecture by Ranciere that is actually very close to what I have been intending to write about his ideas.

Much of Ranciere's earlier writings have neglected to think about time, or of the effects that the passing of time has on politics. I'll be emphasizing how time affects his ideas, and so underlining the importance that "the state of things" has on one's experience--and I'll also be pointing towards the ways that thinking only of a "state" neglects its surrounding temporal contexts. I will be going through this in bits and pieces here as I progress.
