Drawing\n on examples of attention-grabbing stunts from around the world, \u003ci\u003eHumour in\n Political Activism \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how they succeed in turning relations of\n power upside down. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe\n ambiguity and unpredictability of humour, Sørensen argues, makes it difficult\n to respond to this form of political activism when it is performed in\n public.  Humorous political stunts can therefore challenge state power,\n help influence changes in law and make significant contributions to the\n conversations about how societies should be organised. \u003c\/p\u003e\n The\n book also investigates the potential risks and limitations of using humour in\n nonviolent action and what makes humour unique compared with other forms of\n non-humorous political activism.\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-04-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349847648\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-57346-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752782491788,"sku":"9781349847648","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349847648.jpg?v=1775962333","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349847648","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
