Krátky popis
Challenging authority is an essential ingredient in the development
of human civilization. Across millennia, it has acted as a driving
force behind social and political change. It might even be regarded
as a basic human impulse, the evidence for which exists in various
forms, not least in a number of surprising physical objects.In this
book and accompanying exhibition at the British Museum, Ian Hislop,
the well-known satirist and editor of Private Eye, has gathered
together some 180 objects that people have created, adapted and
used to mock and attack the status quo in societies as varied as
Egypt in the 11th century BC, 16th-century England and 20th-century
Afghanistan. These articles - ranging from badges, posters, prints
and ceramics to items that contain messages hidden from first view,
such as a set of wooden doors from Nigeria, a lacquer box from
Burma and teapots from China - frequently illuminate lost or
forgotten moments in history, giving voice to those who have felt
disenfranchised or had no other way to express their views safely.
Fully illustrated with texts that set the objects in context, I
object is a celebration of the wit and ingenuity of those who have
questioned the status quo, showing that the human spirit of
rebellion is indomitable.
