Vanderford for the degree Master of Arts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Folklore Program to be taken December 2000 Title: POLITICAL PRANKS: THE PERFORMANCE OF RADICAL HUMOR · '-· Ap�oved: ·--�-- �aniel N. Wojcik This thesis examines the performance of political pranks by contemporary radical activists and anarchists. Pranks, used symbolically to subvert authority and collapse hierarchy, have become important tools for grassroots political movements. Activists utilize �anks as a form of "culture jamming" to undermine, humiliate, and educate. This thesis documents political prqnks pulled by Earth First!. the Yippies, the Biotic Baking Brigade, and the Eugene Anarchists for Torrey (EAT) Campaign to show how pranks are performed and narrated within anarchist subcultures. Drawing on cultural and performance studies, as well as on anarchist theories, this thesis demonstrates how pranks can become performances of resistance and criticism that disrupt the status quo.

Title: The Place of Impiety in Civic Argument1 Author: Maurice Charland © 2001 Maurice Charland The liberals may well be godless, but they are not very bothered by justice. The left, on the other hand, does want justice, but is still extremely pious (Jean-Francois Lyotard 1989, 123). The comic frame will appear the most serviceable for the handling of human relationships” (Burke 1984, 106). On 16 August 2000, Jean Chrétien was victim of an unexpected attack by a member of the PEI PIE Brigade, who placed a cream pie on his face before cameras that would relay this indignity to all of Canada. How should one characterize this act? Under Canadian law, Chrétien was the victim of assault, and the pieman faces imprisonment. However, this was not an assault in the usual sense. No physical harm was intended. Pieing seeks to insult without injury.
