Sobre IBD

A group of anti-conscription activists break into a prison, demanding to be jailed together with their friend already locked up because of his beliefs. Clowns from the rebel clown army mimic police sent to control political protests. Visiting Santas hand out presents taken from shop shelves without the approval of the shopping centre management. These are examples of humorous political stunts - public actions, hoaxes and happenings that confront systems of power. This book contains many amusing stories of such stunts, showing the boldness and creativity of the activists. Interviews and documents are used to show how humour can facilitate outreach, mobilisation and a culture of resistance. Humorous Political Stunts combines insights from the fields of nonviolence and humour studies and makes theoretical contributions to each area.

  • På barrikaderne for fred
    Majken Jul Sørensen
    Verdenshistorie fortælles ofte i glimt fra krig til krig. Denne fagbog ser på de glemte historier, hvor krigen ikke kom, og konflikter blev løst med fredelige midler. Volden er aldrig uundgåelig, men et valg - måske kun valgt på grund af uvidenhed om de ikkevoldelige alternativer. Selv midt i et krigshelvede er der altid mennesker, som arbejder for fred uden selv at ty til vold...
