Summary

Satire Evolution explores satire's journey as a potent tool for social critique and political commentary, from ancient times to the digital age. Satire, often seen as mere humor, has significantly shaped public opinion and challenged norms throughout history. For example, political cartoons during the Enlightenment used exaggeration to expose corruption, much like modern-day internet memes satirize current events. The book highlights how satire adapts to different historical and technological landscapes, influencing political discourse and even driving social change.

 
Beginning with ancient examples, the narrative progresses through the medieval and Renaissance periods, focusing on the rise of political cartoons and television satire, and culminating in an analysis of social media's role in contemporary satire. It presents satire not just as a reflection of society, but as an active force that provokes critical thinking, incorporating primary texts, historical documents, and media analysis to support its arguments.

 
Ultimately, this book offers a unique perspective on how satire has evolved, providing readers with the tools to critically analyze its messages and evaluate its impact on our world. The study connects to the influence of media, history, and politics.

    In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust's The War with Catiline. 
 
 
 
In a taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust combines juicy details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome; his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how republics live and die, this volume makes Sallust's gripping history more accessible than ever before.

    The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"? Which forms of organization are most likely to deepen and extend the dynamics that led to the emergence of these movements in the first place? 
 
 
 
To investigate the goal, nature, method, and organizational forms of radical political engagement against the neoliberal consensus, Peter D. Thomas draws on the work of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist Party leader and political theorist best known for his ideas about hegemony. Offering a new reading of Gramsci, Thomas contends that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a method of doing politics rather than an end goal.
