The dream of political satire - to fearlessly speak truth to power
- is not matched by its actual effects. This study explores the
role of satirical communication in licensing public expression of
harsh emotions defined in neuroscience as the CAD (contempt, anger,
disgust) triad. The mobilisation of these emotions is a fundamental
distinction between satirical and comic laughter. Phiddian pursues
this argument particularly through an account of Jonathan Swift and
his contemporaries. They played a crucial role in the early
eighteenth century to make space in the public sphere for
intemperate dissent, an essential condition of free political
expression.
