Drawing on examples of attention-grabbing stunts from around the world, \u003ci\u003eHumour in Political Activism \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how they succeed in turning relations of power upside down. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ambiguity and unpredictability of humour, Sørensen argues, makes it difficult to respond to this form of political activism when it is performed in public. Humorous political stunts can therefore challenge state power, help influence changes in law and make significant contributions to the conversations about how societies should be organised. \u003c\/p\u003e The book also investigates the potential risks and limitations of using humour in nonviolent action and what makes humour unique compared with other forms of non-humorous political activism. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275443462295,"sku":"9781349847648","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781349847648.webp?v=1769282930","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/humour-in-political-activism-creative-nonviolent-resistance-9781349847648","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
