In this book, Jacques Rancière radicalizes his critique of modernist thought and its postmodern approach. Contrary to the linear and exclusive time they propose, he highlights the interconnection of temporal dimensions that develop in the contemporary process of liberation and artistic revolutions, showing how this multitude relates to the double dimension of time. Time is not merely a line extending from the past to the future, but a form of life, clearly distinct from the ancient hierarchy between those who have time and those who do not. This hierarchy, which continues in the Marxist notion of the proletariat and even manifests crudely in the modernism of Clement Greenberg, continues to govern the present world, which clings to the fable of historical necessity and its specialists. In contrast, Rancière shows how the rupture with the hierarchical perception of time, as formulated by Emerson in his vision of the new poet, entails a completely different perception of the modern. He sees the fulfillment of this ideal in the two moving arts, cinema and dance, which in the early 20th century abolished the distinction between free and mechanical humans, exposing the rupture between the revolution of artists and that of generals.
