{"product_id":"9789027202291","title":"The Power of Satire","description":"Satire is clearly one of today’s most controversial socio-cultural topics. In this edited volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Satire\u003c\/i\u003e, it is studied for the first time as a dynamic, discursive mode of performance with the power of crossing and contesting cultural boundaries. The collected essays reflect the fundamental shift from literary satire or straightforward literary rhetoric with a relatively limited societal impact, to satire’s multi-mediality in the transnational public space where it can cause intercultural clashes and negotiations on a large scale. An appropriate set of heuristic themes – space, target, rhetoric, media, time – serves as the analytical framework for the investigations and determines the organization of the book as a whole. The contributions, written by an international group of experts with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, manifest academic standards with a balance between theoretical analyses and evaluations on the one hand, and in-depth case studies on the other.","brand":"John Benjamins Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022822392048,"sku":"9789027202291","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789027202291_p0.jpg?v=1763669772","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789027202291","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
