by Sabine Damir–geilsdor, Stephan Milich
Part of the Culture & Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
During the uprisings of the Arab Spring between 2010 and 2012, oppositional movements used political humor to criticize political leaders or to expose the absurdities of the socio-political conditions.
These humorous expressions in various art forms such as poetry, stand-up comedy, street art, music, caricatures, cartoons, comics and puppet shows were further distributed in the social media.
This first comprehensive study of political humor in the uprisings explores the varieties and functions of political humor as a creative tool for resistance.
It analyzes humorous forms of cultural expression and their impact on socio-political developments in different countries of the Middle East and North Africa with a special focus on the changing modes of humor.
