Comedy and Critical Thought is written by Iain MacKenzie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1786604086 (ISBN 10) and 9781786604088 (ISBN 13).
Throughout history, comedians and clowns have enjoyed a certain freedom to speak frankly often denied to others in hegemonic systems. More recently, professional comedians have developed platforms of comic license from which to critique the traditional political establishment and have managed to play an important role in interrogating and mediating the processes of politics in contemporary society. This collection will examine the questions that arise when of comedy and critique intersect by bringing together both critical theorists and comedy scholars with a view to exploring the nature of comedy, its potential role in critical theory and the forms it can take as a practice of resistance.
