En el museo de Bellas Artes de Lausanne, Suiza, se exhibió entre junio y septiembre de 2007 la muestra "La politique des images", del artista chileno Alfredo Jaar. Se editó entonces, en versión bilingue frances-ingles, un libro-catalogo con el mismo titulo, que incluia ensayos de Georges Didi-Huberman, Griselda Pollock, Jacques Ranciere y la curadora Nicole Schweizer. El presente libro recoge las traducciones de esos ensayos al castellano.
