Activist Writing: History, Politics, Rhetoric
<p>Historically, the printed word is arguably the single most important infrastructure for activist politics. The essays gathered in this volume explore crucial examples of activist writing in sociological, historical, and literary-theoretical perspective. Together, they show that manifestos, pamphlets, open letters, and polemical speeches have left a significant imprint on the political fabric of Modernity. As a political practice, pamphleteering has continually remolded available forms of democratic participation, thus fundamentally shaping contemporary concepts of activism.</p>
