Playing Activists and Dancing Anarchists is a Ph.D. dissertation
that aims to analyse men and masculinities in political
demonstrations and similar manifestations by conceptualising and
analytically approaching such cultural performances as theatrical
events. The case studies include: The large peace demonstration in
Stockholm in February 2003 against the invasion of Iraq; a street
theatre performance by the comedians Kesselofski and Fiske, who
argue against the European Monetary Union; four Social Democratic
May Day celebrations with former prime minister Gran Persson as the
main speaker; two anti-racist demonstrations, one of which leads to
a violent street battle between activists and a riot police squad.
The book proposes Performance Studies as a relevant means of
examining gender in political live events. The different chapters
identify and discuss a broad range of men and masculinities, from a
cowboy-politician and a financial shark to dead political father
figures and masked collectives of martyrs. While violence is a
central theme of the study, it also shows the growing resistance
offered by feminist activists, performers and musicians.
