Defence of deletion notice on grounds of Non-notable book. No independent refs. No evidence of meeting WP:NBOOK.

I claim this is a 'classic' of historical based philosophy: See the recent Verso blog for a summary of recent English assessments of the 'classic' nature of this book. http://www.versobooks.com/blogs/1059-jacques-ranciere-old-fart-or-man-of-the-hour

see also a recent review of the new Verso edition. http://www.spiked-online.com/site/reviewofbooks_article/12589/

Certainly Ranbciere's position is assured and this is perhaps his key early work along with the Ignorant Schoolmaster. See: Jacques Rancière: Aesthetics, Politics, Philosophy. Ed. Mark Robson. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press. Paragraph 28:1 (March 2005). 128 pp. £18.95. ISBN 0–7486–2188–1

Sources in French
I'm posting some French journals here as I can't speak it and don't want to indiscriminately add stuff from articles I can't read. I can see that they'd count as a reliable source but it's more important to get good content from them. ,, Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If they don't show up, you can do a search under JSTOR with the author's name and the original French title of the book.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
