WHY RABELAIS IS STILL DANGEROUS

This book explores the enduring relevance of François Rabelais in today’s culture, highlighting how his unrestrained humor, body-positive worldview, and provocative language serve as powerful acts of resistance against censorship and moral panic. It argues that the themes he embodied—excess, ambiguity, and joy—are vital antidotes to a society increasingly wary of offending and silencing dissent. Ultimately, the work invites readers to reconsider the importance of unfiltered laughter and free thought as essential elements of a vibrant, genuine culture.
