This book explores different forms of mediated offence in the
context of Trump's America, Brexit Britain, and the rise of
far-right movements across the globe. In this political landscape,
the so-called 'right to offend' is often seen as a legitimate
weapon against a 'political correctness gone mad' that stifles
'free speech'. Against the backdrop of these current developments,
this book aims to generate a productive dialogue among scholars
working in a variety of intellectual disciplines, geographical
locations and methodological traditions. The contributors share a
concern about the complex and ambiguous nature of offence as well
as about the different ways in which this so-called 'negative
affect' comes to matter in our everyday and socio-political lives.
Through a series of instructive case studies of recent media
provocations, the authors illustrate how being offended is more
than an individual feeling and is, instead, closely tied to
political structures and power relations.
