{"product_id":"9781626375208","title":"Seriously Funny: Disability and the Paradoxical Power of Humor","description":"Exploring a paradox, Shawn Bingham and Sara Green show how humor has been used both to challenge traditional views of disability and to reinforce negative stereotypes and social inequalities. Seriously Funny ranges from ancient Greek dramas to medieval courts jesters to contemporary comedy, from stage performances to the experiences of daily life. Rich with insights into issues of identity and social stratification, it offers an eye-opening perspective on attitudes toward disability across the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Social Significance of Disability Humor.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHumor as Aesthetic, Analysis, and Activism.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisability and Humor in Historical Context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Twenty-First-Century Cast of Comic Characters.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreating New Narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisability Humor in a Politically Correct World.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing Humor to Reimagine Society.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppendix: Biographical Sketches of the Comedians Interviewed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48175428829424,"sku":"9781626375208","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626375208_p0.jpg?v=1763866016","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626375208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
