Mockery Forms

The book progresses through three sections: establishing a theoretical framework, offering empirical analysis of historical and contemporary examples, and exploring ethical implications. Case studies range from ancient political comedies to modern internet memes, illustrating mockery's enduring power. It analyzes the intent and execution of each type, as well as their respective consequences.

This multidisciplinary approach, drawing from philosophy, political science, and sociology, makes Mockery Forms valuable for students, researchers, and general readers interested in the power dynamics of public discourse and the subtle art of social commentary. It offers a nuanced analysis, challenging simplistic views of ridicule in shaping our world.
