Naked Politics

Nudity, Political Action, and the Rhetoric of the Body

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Although public nudity as a form of political action has a long history, Naked Politics: Nudity, Political Action, and the Rhetoric of the Body examines political nudity from a rhetorical standpoint. Beginning with the notion that the body itself is communicative beyond the ability to speak, this work examines cases in which people employ the disrobed body for political ends.
