Disruptive Play: The Trickster in Politics and Culture

Shepherd Siegel

4.9/5 (18124 ratings)

Description:Disruptive The Trickster in Politics and Culture is about tricking power into committing acts of love. It journeys from ancient folkloric appearances of Tricksters such as Raven and Èṣù-Elegba, to their confined role in Western civilization, and then on to Trickster’s 20th century jailbreak as led by dada and the hippies. Disruptive Play bears witness to how this spirit informs social progress today, whether by Anonymous, Banksy, Bugs Bunny, or unrevealed mischief-makers and culture jammers. Such play is revolutionary and lights the path to a transformed society.Disruptive Play connects knowledge from mythology, folklore, popular culture, art, politics, and play theory to make its case that to be playful means not taking power seriously. At critical mass, power collapses and leaves us swimming about in the waters of the amoral Trickster. New values emerge and could lead to some version of the dystopia that currently drenches popular culture. Or, if people can discern between the authentic contact and exhilaration of play, and branded, mediated, alienated pleasure, then we just might stumble and frolic our way to the Play Society.This book is ideal for enthusiasts of the human condition and those who hold out for the vision, however slim, of the Play Society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
