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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Set Margins' Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789083579573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 7.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Gabriel Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715564826805,"sku":"9789083579573","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gabriel-jones-im-inside-tagging-architecture-in-eastern-european-cold-war-propaganda-postcards-9789083579573","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
