This richly illustrated book responds to the concept, aesthetics and function of the political pamphlet. It is diverse in content, interpreting the 'pamphlet' in the broadest terms, and encompassing a number of case studies that offer historical or specific examples of contemporary pamphleteering practice that can be seen to perform 'a clear political implication' or protest. Besides exploring the radical history and diverse cultures of the pamphlet, it also celebrates the rich visual rhetoric, typography and contemporary relevance of the format for both artists and activists. Contributions include an historical overview and essays by: Andy Abbott,  Angeliki Avgitidu,  Aziz Choudry and Désirée Rochat,  David Murrieta Flores,  Michelle Kempson,  Pil and Galia Kollectiv,  Rachel Schreiber,  Jane Tormey, Gillian Whiteley; visual contributions by Gary Anderson and Steven Shakespeare,  Ruth Beale,  Ami Clarke, Common Culture,  Jeremy Deller,  Freee,  Patrick Goddard,  Gavin Grindon,  Ferenc Grof,  Marc Herbst,  Joanne Lee,  Josh MacPhee,  Manual Labours,  Mark McGowan, Minute Works,  Chris Morton,  radicalreThink,  Hester Reeve,  Oliver Ressler,  Greg Sholette \u0026amp; Christopher Darling, Laura Wild,  Andrew Wilson. \u003cbr\u003eAs the book was conceived as predominantly visual from the outset, the book concept has been a collaboration with \u003ci\u003eThe Little Riot Press\u003c\/i\u003e (Phil Eastwood and Chris Dunne). Overall, an aesthetic of protest and propaganda was considered integral to the design to reiterate the generally handmade, analogue techniques found in political pamphlets. \u003ci\u003eThe Little Riot Press\u003c\/i\u003e have thus approached the illustration and overall visual cohesion from the perspective of the radical artist pamphleteer. www.thelittleriotpress.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGillian Whiteley\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture at Loughborough University and author of \u003ci\u003eJunk: Art and the Politics of Trash \u003c\/i\u003e(I.B.Tauris, 2010).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Tormey \u003c\/b\u003eis Honorary Fellow of the School of Arts, English and Drama at Loughborough University and author of \u003ci\u003eCities and Photography \u003c\/i\u003e(2012) and \u003ci\u003ePhotographic Realism: Late Twentieth-Century Aesthetics \u003c\/i\u003e(2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 December 2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350022454\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e384\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332838883468,"sku":"9781350022454","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_94c45e84-bc60-40e3-908d-4a6596463321.jpg?v=1783606553","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350022454","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
