Should there be limits to free speech when humour is aimed at marginalised social groups? What are the limits of free speech when comedy pokes fun at those who hold social power?

Can stereotypes be mocked through their re-invocation? .Comedy and the Politics of Representation: Mocking the Weak. breaks new theoretical ground by demonstrating how the way people are represented mediates the triadic relationship set up in comedy between teller, audience and butt of the joke. By bringing together a selection of essays from international scholars, this study unpacks and examines the dynamic role that humour plays in making and remaking identity and power relations in culture and society. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | comedy; gender; sexuality; ethnicity; disability; stand-up; free speech; class; TV; radio; film; disability stu | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-90506-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-08029-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-90506-8Series ISSN 2731-4332 Series E-ISSN 2731-4340 | issn_series | 2731-4332 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
