World Naked Bike Ride -- Political display and the mediated body: exhibition and politics on Collegehumor.com -- Conclusion: the nude body in the public sphere. 330 $aAlthough 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. 606 $aNudity$xPolitical aspects 606 $aHuman body$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitical participation 606 $aSocial action 606 $aPolitical activists 615 0$aNudity$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aHuman body$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical participation. 615 0$aSocial action. 615 0$aPolitical activists. 676 $a306.4/613 700 $aLunceford$b Brett$01657128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818620503321 996 $aNaked politics$94044221 997 $aUNINA
