World Naked Bike Ride -- Political display and the mediated body: exhibition and politics on Collegehumor.com -- Conclusion: the nude body in the public sphere.Although public nudity as a form of political action has a history stretching back at least as far as Lady Godiva, Naked Politics: Nudity, Political Action, and the Rhetoric of the Body by Brett Lunceford, is one of the few books that examine political nudity from a rhetorical standpoint. Beginning with the notion that the body itself is communicative beyond the ability to speak, this work examines a variety of cases in which people employ the disrobed body for political ends.NudityPolitical aspectsHuman bodyPolitical aspectsPolitical participationSocial actionPolitical activistsNudityPolitical aspects.Human bodyPolitical aspects.Political participation.Social action.Political activists.306.4/613Lunceford Brett1657128MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818620503321Naked politics4044221UNINA
