La 4ème de couv. indique : "Démos de Steve Jobs pour le lancement de produits Apple, démonstrations de force lors de grandes manifestations, ou encore preuves de l'existence d'armes de destruction massive en Irak à l'ONU : les démonstrations publiques sont omniprésentes dans la vie sociale et leurs enjeux tant politiques qu'économiques sont considérables. Pourtant, ces phénomènes sont souvent appréhendés comme des événements isolés, voire anecdotiques, et dès lors peu dignes d'un examen systématique. Dans un renversement de perspective, cet ouvrage analyse minutieusement les processus au cours desquels les démonstrations sont conçues et déployées en public, ainsi que les multiples tours de main de leurs auteurs. L'étude s'appuie sur un grand nombre de résultats d'enquêtes réalisées dans divers espaces (e.g. foires, salons informatiques, entreprises, rues), que ce soit sur la période contemporaine ou à travers l'histoire. Claude Rosental montre en quoi les démonstrations publiques constituent non seulement des outils de preuve, de conviction et de promotion, mais aussi des formes fondamentales d'interaction et d'échange. Au-delà des modes de divertissement qu'elles représentent parfois, les démonstrations apparaissent comme des moments intenses qui engagent très largement les alliances, les biens matériels et symboliques, et plus généralement l'avenir des individus et des collectifs. L'ouvrage met ainsi en lumière de quelles manières nous vivons aujourd'hui, comme par le passé, dans une société de démonstration."

'Powerful Patriots' examines the role of nationalist protest in China's foreign relations from 1978 to 2012, arguing that the Chinese government's decision to allow or repress potentially destabilizing anti-foreign street demonstrations reveals information about its resolve and willingness to compromise in diplomacy.

This book, first published in 2000, examines the diversity of protest from 1780 to 1840 and how it altered during this period of extreme change. This textbook covers all forms of protest, including the Gordon Riots of 1780, food riots, Luddism, the radical political reform movement and Peterloo in 1819, and the less well researched anti-enclosure, anti-New Poor Law riots, arson and other forms of 'terroristic' action, up to the advent of Chartism in the 1830s. Archer evaluates the problematic nature of source materials and conflicting interpretations leading to debate, and reviews the historiography and methodology of protest studies. This study of popular protest gives a unique perspective on the social history and conditions of this crucial period and will provide a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.
