Combining developments in the field of social movement theory
regarding framing, collective identity, and emotions with insights
from humourology, the seventeen essays in this book show the power
of humour in framing social and political protest across a wide
range of historical and spatial settings. The authors explore under
what conditions laughter can serve the cause of the protesters; how
humour has strengthened social protest; to what degree humour has
been an effective tool for contentious social movements; and how
humour can further the development of the collective identity of a
social movement. The essays deal with a broad variety of historical
and spatial settings, in quite different political structures, from
open democratic societies to harsh repressive regimes, from the
Zapatistas in Mexico to Vietnamese garment workers, from
sixteenth-century Augsburg to Madrid and Stockholm in the 1990s.
