The several periods characterising his work since the 1970s and, mainly from the publication of Proletarian Nights in 1981: his supposed ‘aesthetic turn’ – from workers’ history or political theory to aesthetics, which was always present since his first Works, theory, art and politics from the point of view of the ‘gaps of cinema’, the concept of the ‘politics of the amateur’ and its possible application in other arts, the distinction between the Brechtian paradigm (Group Dziga Vertov, Medvedkine) and the post-Brechtian paradigm (Straub-Huillet), as well as the relationship between ‘filmic language’ and the political struggles or the possible distinction between European cinema (the mythological order) and the American one (the order of the legendary), questions that he has addressed...

First, in italics, I present what could be called “Case Study: Zulueta’s Rapture ” and propose some reflections on its meaning within the framework of current university practices surrounding knowledge. Next to take the stand is the paper itself, the object of the trial, whose author proposes a political reading of the film Rapture (Arrebato in the original Spanish) by Ivan Zulueta. Lastly, some conclusions are offered. I will say no more; the text has a complex structure and is best judged by reading it.

Así, desde los años 70 y sobre todo desde La noche de los proletarios, publicada en 1981, se recorren las diferentes etapas en la trayectoria de Rancière: su supuesto "giro estético" -el paso de la historia de los obreros o la teoría política a la estética, la cual en el fondo estuvo presente desde sus primeras obras-, la teoría, el arte y la política desde el prisma de "las distancias del cine", el concepto de "política del amateur" y su posible aplicación a las otras artes, la diferenciación entre el paradigma brechtiano (Grupo Dziga Vertov, Medvedkine) y el paradigma post-brechtiano (Straub-Huillet), así como la relación entre el "lenguaje cinematográfico" y las luchas políticas o la posible distinción entre el cine europeo (orden de lo mitológico) y el americano (orden de lo legendario), cuestiones abordadas en sus obras de los últimos años, en las que el cine tiene una importancia cada vez mayor.
