В книге Джексон прослеживает оживленные стычки между политическими карикатуристами Мадагаскара и политиками, чьи карикатуры и публичные выступления отражают постоянно меняющийся барометр демократии на островной нации. Это первое антропологическое исследование роли языка и риторики в переформировании демократии в Мадагаскаре. В книге анализируются динамичные взаимоотношения между формализованной ораторской речью, сатирой и политическими изменениями в Мадагаскаре. Представлено захватывающее исследование необычных черт в стиле Цицерона кабаре - формального публичного красноречия, давно забытого на Западе. В книге задокументировано управление американскими демократическими предвыборными советниками иностранной президентской кампанией, не имеющее аналогов в постколониальную эпоху.
In this book, political cartoons and the rhetors' skills in delivering speeches become the primary tools for understanding and exploring politics. Jennifer Jackson traces and analyses the complicated and intriguing relationship and dynamics between cartoons, speakers, democracy, and politics on the island of Madagascar. By employing among ethnography and discourse analysis, Jackson provides a unique perspective on how verbal and visual tools of power are negotiated and implemented. Developing upon previous studies, Jackson highlights how the dramatic interactions and negotiations that occur between cartoonists, politicians, and voters continually reshape the contours of democratic governance on the islands. In examining spirited scuffles that impact various parties to democratic processes in Madagascar and elaborate on their claims, Jackson offers invaluable insights into our current understanding of politics around the world through a window onto the commotionuous, fluid, and scholarly process in crafting robust, lasting democratic systems at work on Madagascaran soil.
