La manifestation est sans doute la forme la plus commune d'expression politique, tant dans les pays démocratiques, où sa légitimité le dispute avec plus ou moins de bonheur aux formes plus conventionnelles de participation comme le vote, que dans les pays non démocratiques, où elle accompagne les tentatives de révolte et de renversement. Dans cet ouvrage de synthèse, les auteurs proposent une analyse sociologique et historique de ce mode d'action politique, avec ses normes et ses règles, ses légendes et ses mythes, ses épisodes glorieux et ses heures sombres. Mais surtout, au-delà de l'interrogation classique sur la place de la manifestation dans le répertoire d'action contemporain et dans les luttes politiques, c'est aussi à une analyse au plus près des manifestants eux-mêmes et de «ce qui les fait courir» que cet ouvrage nous invite.

Combining recent developments in the field of social movement theory regarding framing, collective identity, and emotions with insights from humourology, the seventeen essays show the power of humour in framing social and political protest across a wide range of historical and spatial settings. The authors explore under what conditions laughter can serve the cause of the protesters; how humour has strengthened social protest; to what degree humour has been an effective tool for contentious social movements; and how humour can further the development of the collective identity of a social movement. The essays deal with a broad variety of historical and spatial settings, in quite different political structures, from open democratic societies to harsh repressive regimes, from the Zapatistas in Mexico to Vietnamese garment workers, from sixteenth-century Augsburg to Madrid and Stockholm in the 1990s.

Protest campaigns against large-scale public works usually take place within a local context. However, since the 1990s new forms of protest have been emerging. This book analyses two cases from Italy that illustrate this development: the environmentalist protest campaigns against the TAV (the building of a new high-speed railway in Val de Susa, close to the border with France), and the construction of the Bridge on the Messina Straits (between Calabria and Sicily). Such mobilizations emerge from local conflicts but develop as part of a global justice movement, often resulting in the production
