Description
The Odd One In On Comedy by Alenka Zupančič explores how philosophy and psychoanalysis can help us understand comedy. This book examines the relationship between philosophy, psychoanalysis, and comedy, drawing on a range of philosophers and exemplars of comedic practice. Zupančič distinguishes between comedy that is ideologically imposed and subversive, real comedy that thrives on short circuits between heterogeneous orders. She considers how comedy lets the odd one in, examining mechanisms and processes involved in this phenomenon. By investigating comedy from philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives, Zupančič sheds new light on the movement and logic of comedic practice. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and comedy.
