Humour as Politics: The Political Aesthetics of Contemporary Comedy
$170.09
Presents a new theory of humour as the cultural expression of our (neo)liberal moment
Revisits existing humour texts in order to rethink both the political limitations and possibilities of humour as a political mode in the twenty-first century
Brings together concerns of form and aesthetics with questions of power in a manner that not only reassesses the cultural work of humour, but also articulates a new account of the political possibilities of popular aesthetics more broadly
