What role can provocation play in the process of renewal, both of
individuals and of societies? Provocation in Popular Culture is an
investigation into the practice of specific provocateurs and the
wider nature of cultural provocation, examining, among others:
Banksy Sacha Baron Cohen Leo Bassi Pussy Riot Philippe Petit
Archaos. Drawing on Bim Mason's own twenty-five year career as
performer, teacher and creative director, this book explores the
power negotiations involved in the relationship between provocateur
and provoked, and the implications of maintaining a position on the
'edge'. Using neuroscience as a bridge, it proposes a similarity
between complexity theory and cultural theories of play and risk.
Three inter-related analogies for the 'edge' on which these
performers operate - the fulcrum, the blade and the border - reveal
the shifts between structure and fluidity, and the ways in which
these can combine in a single moment.
