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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174828523772,"sku":"9788501109064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/428f3ddd702193564020fd2b2403fd89_114320a3-7ec7-4e4b-800e-c32007327351.jpg?v=1776895936","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/ridiculo-politico","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
