Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Satire and Dissent Interventions in Contemporary Political Debate Amber Day "The use of irony and satire in politics . . . has become a leading characteristic of left-liberal politics in the new millennium. Amber Day argues persuasively why this has come to be, while explaining its mechanics and exploring its function and effect." ‹Stephen Duncombe, author of Dream: Re-Imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy In an age when Jon Stewart frequently tops lists of most-trusted newscasters, the films of Michael Moore become a dominant topic of political campaign analysis, and activists adopt ironic, fake personas to attract attention‹the satiric register has attained renewed and urgent prominence in political discourse. Amber Day focuses on the parodist news show, the satiric documentary, and ironic activism to examine the techniques of performance across media, highlighting their shared objective of bypassing standard media outlets and the highly choreographed nature of current political debate. 240 pp., 21 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35588-1 $65.00 paper 978-0-253-22281-7 $22.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22281 -7 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 ---------------- Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) online: http://iupress.indiana.edu blog: http://iupress.typepad.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/iupress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iupress ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
