It is kind of tough to follow him with all the stuttering and rethinking going on, but this does, if one listens and follows him closely, immensely help with the understanding of his publications.
The "guy" is dealing with extremely abstract concepts that do not readily translate from French to English. Seriously, may you deal with such meta-cognitive engagements at such insane speeds and see if you can find your tongue. Jacques is literally moving and shifting worlds about, in his native French, but speaking English (and dealing with a translator's dilemma of how A!=A when going through translation, as anyone who speaks more than one language fluently fully understands. There just are things that do not express the same way when literally translated). I'll concede that listening to Jacques present can give one a migraine, but only because your brain is melting dealing with being overclocked to keep up with him. Having worked with him personally, I can assure you that even when he speaks in English (and is translating high theory on the fly), some of us are clinging on for dear life trying to stay with the worlds he's reconstructing while the rest are simply lost. May they buy the book and study in slow-space. Jacques is the real deal. He's a Socrates that walks among us now (and is perhaps the greatest mortal enemy to Plato in 2300 years). But that's all for history to decide, right?
@@cosmotraumatika7474 Well said, and I fully agree. Imagine listening to one of the big philosophers of our time and getting hung up over his style of speech. It definitely shows why Rancière places such importance on the concept of attention, and the importance of our willingness (or lack of it) to attend to what others are trying to communicate to us.
@@cosmotraumatika7474 and what about equal intelligence? Posting anyone on a high scale is opposite of what he, himself says. It's not for history to decide, it's not a thing for deciding. Plato was the same human being with the same capacity as every other human being. In a different situation than me and you, directed toward things he was interested in. Same goes for Socrates, same goes for Jacques. Why don't you figure out why you are "the greatest" and then talk about greatness. Oh and I'm not talking about respect, just about dividing intelligence.

@@faridjabba ure so transparently envious, its embarrassing
He should use French and let an interpreter do a proper job
The guy can't speak at all. What's wrong with him? You might get migrene from that :D
