Top-down meets grassroots and sublime and subliminal clash in these kitschy collages: sometimes cynical, sometimes cheeky, sometimes profound. Each structure gains a slogan such as \"Honk if you don't exist\"; \"Make Orwell fiction again\"; \"Microsoft is a crazy thing to name your company\"; and \"Communist jokes are only funny if everyone gets them.\" Such decontextualization provides a humorous effect, but also brings a sort of recognizability to the new image on the postcard. This dynamic shows humanity's innate resilience to imposed superstructures--be it only in our minds or among our communities--which in turn lends itself to a mirror by which to view the superstructures imposed by contemporary politicians. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52593908121873,"sku":"NGR9789083579573","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789083579573.jpg?v=1768559512"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-gabriel-jones.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
