Beginning with an introduction to core concepts like power and political discourse, it progresses to case studies analyzing political advertising and social media campaigns.
Finally, Pleasure Politics synthesizes its findings to offer insights into strategies for challenging oppressive power structures and promoting social justice, revealing the crucial role of pleasure in shaping political ideologies and outcomes.
