Titel: Rebellious Laughter Zustand: Neu Subtitle: People’s Humor in American Culture Autor: Joseph Boskin Produktart: Taschenbuch EAN: 9780815627487 ISBN: 9780815627487 Verlag: Syracuse University Press Genre: History Thematik: Society & Culture Erscheinungsdatum: 31.10.1997 Description: Rebellious Laughter changes the way we think about the ordinary joke. Claiming that humor in America is a primary cultural weapon, Boskin surveys the multitude of joke cycles that have swept the country during the last fifty years. Dumb Blonde jokes. Elephant jokes. Jewish-American Princess jokes. Lightbulb jokes.
Readers will enjoy humor from many diverse sources: whites, blacks, women, and Hispanics; conservatives and liberals; public workers and university students; the powerless and power brokers. Boskin argues that jokes provide a cultural barometer of concerns and anxieties, frequently appearing in our day-to-day language long before these issues become grist for stand-up comics.
