A manifesto of sorts, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e makes an argument friendly to specialists and non-specialists alike and offers a challenge for everyone concerned with today's new forms of political protest and alliance.\"—Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e\"Geoffroy de Lagasnerie is arguably one of the most talented of the new wave of French theory. In this incisive and unflinching book, he compellingly exposes the hardened skin of the perverse forms of power that endanger our liberties in this age of mass surveillance.\"—Achille Mbembe, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Critique of Black Reason\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Art of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e offers a striking and radical new perspective on truth-tellers in the Internet age: how they leak, wield anonymity, and find asylum in ways that break radically with established practices to effect change. Lagasnerie brings ideas to the table that even I, an insider, had never considered. Whether you agree or disagree with the actions of his protagonists, this book is a must-read for grasping the significance and innovation of their work. Its compelling ideas will inspire all readers to reflect on how they can engage productively in the betterment of our societies.\"—Sarah Harrison, Director of the Courage Foundation and WikiLeaks Associate\u003cbr\u003e\"Lagasnerie discusses Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning as developers of a new political art, a \"different way of understanding what it means to resist\"....This volume is of most interest to scholars of civil liberties and international communication....Recommended.\"—W.C.

Geoffroy de Lagasnerie's \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e is not an account of these whistleblowers' deeds, but rather an interrogation of the categories and assumptions implicit in such questions.\"—Dzmitry Tsapkou, \u003ci\u003eCultural Critique\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409382941015,"sku":"9781503600010","price":67.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781503600010.jpg?v=1730506613","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-art-of-revolt-9781503600010","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
