Description
The Comedy Studies Reader brings together a comprehensive collection of comedy studies, covering both foundational and cutting-edge work. Edited by Nick Marx and Matt Sienkiewicz, this anthology gathers articles, essays, and works from leading scholars in the field. The volume explores various themes and approaches to studying comedic media, including the carnivalesque, comedy mechanics, psychoanalysis, irony, genre, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and nation and globalization. This collection provides a broad overview of the evolution of comedy studies, tracing two parallel trends: the development of subgenres and formats, and the increasing focus on comedy's circulation in "serious" discursive realms. By bringing together iconic theorists and leading scholars, The Comedy Studies Reader offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of comedic media.
