Dinner, Sheryl Tuttle Ross. 330 $aThis edited collection explores the representations of identity in comedy and interrogates the ways in which ?humorous? constructions of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, class and disability raise serious issues about privilege, agency and oppression in popular culture. Should there be limits to free speech when humour is aimed at marginalised social groups? What are the limits of free speech when comedy pokes fun at those who hold social power? Can taboo joking be used towards politically progressive ends? Can stereotypes be mocked through their re-invocation? Comedy and the Politics of Representation: Mocking the Weak breaks new theoretical ground by demonstrating how the way people are represented mediates the triadic relationship set up in comedy between teller, audience and butt of the joke. By bringing together a selection of essays from international scholars, this study unpacks and examines the dynamic role that humour plays in making and remaking identity and power relations in culture and society. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Comedy 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aPeople with disabilities 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aComedy 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aDisability Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22280 606 $aPolitics and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911260 606 $aComedy Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411230 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities. 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aComedy. 615 14$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aDisability Studies. 615 24$aPolitics and Gender. 615 24$aComedy Studies. 676 $a306 702 $aDavies$b Helen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aIlott$b Sarah$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300036203321 996 $aComedy and the Politics of Representation$92220103 997 $aUNINA
