Abstract:

This book, which takes the form of a graphic novel, looks at political
activism in the public landscape. It has a particular focus on the UK
activist group Led By Donkeys which has, since late 2018, been running
a campaign to expose hypocrisy in the political classes. Their
approach to activism involves the use of large posters and other forms
of public display, which highlight the gap between the rhetoric and
actions of politicians, and how language and communication is used to
manipulate opinion. The activism discussed in the book includes four
major issues: Brexit, Trump, Covid and the Russian invasion of
Ukraine. The book is both an innovative visual approach to the
presentation of academic research and thought, and an exploration of
how the linguistic landscape can be a key resource for the
communication of political activism.

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics

Written In: English (eng)
