Sinopse

An investigation into the laughable, image manipulation, and aesthetic correctness. From the author of How to Talk to a Fascist .

The ridiculous scenes—and the already well-known characters—reflect the meaning of politics today, but not simply as a mess created by people unprepared for the positions they hold. The distortion serves a new politics, in a highly problematic sense: power is transformed into violence, and the seriousness of certain issues gives way to cynicism.

Abusers of power remain ever more powerful, acting as harmless, often even trustworthy jokesters or buffoons, while the population pays a high price for a depoliticization presented as the best of all possible worlds. Unleashed on a social scale, fascism, sexism, and racism set the pace and tone of politics today, without it seeming like anything can be done.

By introducing the notion of “political ridiculousness” into the debate on aesthetics and politics, the essays in this book are an original—and fundamental—contribution by Marcia Tiburi to help us reflect on the seriousness of the habit of not treating political matters seriously.
