Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy Speaking Truth to Power

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy Speaking Truth to Power

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy explores the new forms voices and venues of stand-up comedy in different parts of the world and its potential role as a counterhegemonic tool for satire commentary and expression of identity especially for the disempowered or marginalised. The title brings together essays and perspectives on stand-up and satire from different cultural and political contexts across the world which raise pertinent issues regarding its role in contemporary times especially with the increased presence of OTT platforms and internet penetration that allows for easy access to this art form. It examines the theoretical understanding of the different aspects of the humour aesthetics and politics of stand-up comedy as well as the exploration of race gender politics and conflicts urban culture and LGBTQ+ identities in countries such as Indonesia Finland France Iran Italy Morocco India and the USA. It also asks the question whether along with contesting and destabilising existing discursive frameworks and identities a stand-up comic can open up a space for envisaging a new social cultural and political order? This book will appeal to people interested in performance studies media popular culture digital culture sociology digital sociology and anthropology and English literature.

Engaging with the Past c.250-c.650

Engaging with the Past c.250-c.650

Between c. 250 and c. 650 the way the past was seen recorded and interpreted for a contemporary audience changed fundamentally. Only since the 1970s have the key elements of this historiographical revolution become clear with the recasting of the period across both east and west as ‘late antiquity’. Historiography however has struggled to find its place in this new scholarly world. No longer is decline and fall the natural explanatory model for cultural and literary developments but continuity and transformation. In addition the emergence of ‘late antiquity’ coincided with a methodological challenge arising from the ‘linguistic turn’ which impacted on history writing in all eras. This book is focussed on the development of modern understanding of how the ways of seeing and recording the past changed in the course of adjusting to emerging social religious and cultural developments over the period from c. 250 to c. 650. Its overriding theme is how modern historiography has adapted over the past half century to engaging with the past between c. 250 and c. 650. Now as explained in this book the newly dominant historiographical genres (chronicles epitomes church histories) are seen as the preferred modes of telling the story of the past rather than being considered rudimentary and naïve. | Engaging with the Past c. 250-c. 650
