Beskrivning

Thisbook analyses how humour in political activism contributes to facilitatingoutreach, mobilisation and the sustaining of cultures of resistance. Drawingon examples of attention-grabbing stunts from around the world, Humour inPolitical Activism demonstrates how they succeed in turning relations ofpower upside down. Theambiguity and unpredictability of humour, Sørensen argues, makes it difficultto respond to this form of political activism when it is performed inpublic. Humorous political stunts can therefore challenge state power,help influence changes in law and make significant contributions to theconversations about how societies should be organised. Thebook also investigates the potential risks and limitations of using humour innonviolent action and what makes humour unique compared with other forms ofnon-humorous political activism.
