But people love to laugh, and good comedy will always sell. With the help of this complete and entertaining guide, writers and would-be writers for film and television can look forward to writing comedy that goes far beyond stereotypic jokes and characters. In Laughing Out Loud, award-winning screenwriter and author Andrew Horton blends history, theory, and analysis of comedy with invaluable advice. Using examples from Chaplin to Seinfeld, Aristophanes to Woody Allen, Horton describes comedy as a perspective rather than merely as a genre and then goes on to identify the essential elements of comedy. His lively overview of comedy's history traces its two main branches--anarchistic comedy and romantic comedy--from ancient Greece through contemporary Hollywood, by way of commedia dell'arte, vaudeville, and silent movies. Television and international cinema are included in Horton's analysis, which leads into an up-close review of the comedy chemistry in a number of specific films and television shows. The rest of the book is a practical guide to writing feature comedy and episodic TV comedy, complete with schedules and exercises designed to unblock any writer's comic potential. The appendices offer tips on networking, marketing, and even producing comedies, and are followed by a list of recommended comedies and a bibliography. 606 $aComedy films$xAuthorship 615 0$aComedy films$xAuthorship. 676 $a808.23 700 $aHorton$b Andrew$f1944-$0564671 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248207003316 996 $aLaughing Out Loud$92346272 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04152nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910970572803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612638176 010 $a9781282638174 010 $a1282638173 010 $a9780262265782 010 $a0262265788 035 $a(CKB)2560000000014319 035 $a(EBL)3339151 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000421617 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11295725 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000421617 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10412361 035 $a(PQKB)11654547 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000130982 035 $a(OCoLC)646069514$z(OCoLC)743201082$z(OCoLC)758544208$z(OCoLC)760161125$z(OCoLC)816563023$z(OCoLC)974445574$z(OCoLC)974508952$z(OCoLC)1053511377 035 $a(OCoLC-P)646069514 035 $a(MaCbMITP)8326 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3339151 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000014319 100 $a20090909d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aKnowledge and skepticism /$fedited by Joseph Keim Campbell, Michael O'Rourke, and Harry S.

And: Do we have any of it? The first question asks after the nature of a concept; the second involves grappling with the skeptic, who believes that no one knows anything. This collection of original essays addresses the themes of knowledge and skepticism, offering both contemporary epistemological analysis and historical perspectives from leading philosophers and rising scholars. Contributors first consider knowledge: the intrinsic nature of knowledge in particular, aspects of what distinguishes knowledge from true belief; the extrinsic examination of knowledge, focusing on contextualist accounts; and types of knowledge, specifically perceptual, introspective, and rational knowledge. The final chapters offer various perspectives on skepticism. Knowledge and Skepticism provides an eclectic yet coherent set of essays by distinguished scholars and important new voices. The cutting-edge nature of its contributions and its interdisciplinary character make it a valuable resource for a wide audience, for philosophers of language as well as for epistemologists, and for psychologists, decision theorists, historians, and students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. 410 0$aTopics in contemporary philosophy. 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of$vCongresses 606 $aSkepticism$vCongresses 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of 615 0$aSkepticism 676 $a121 701 $aCampbell$b Joseph Keim$f1958-$01790760 701 $aO'Rourke$b Michael$f1963-$0753798 701 $aSilverstein$b Harry$f1942-$01790761 712 12$aInland Northwest Philosophy Conference$d(7th :$f2004 :$ePullman, Wash.; Moscow, Idaho) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970572803321 996 $aKnowledge and skepticism$94327490 997 $aUNINA
