Satire, Comedy and Mental Health examines how satire helps to
sustain good mental health in a troubled socio-political world.
Through an interdisciplinary dialogue that combines approaches from
the analytic philosophy of art, medical and health humanities,
media studies, and psychology, the book demonstrates how satire
enables us to negotiate a healthy balance between care for others
and care of self. Building on a thorough philosophical explication
and close analysis of satire in various forms - including novels,
music, TV, film, cartoons, memes, stand-up comedy and protest
artefacts - Declercq investigates how we can harness satirical
entertainment to ease the limits of critique. In so doing, the book
presents a compelling case that, while satire cannot hope to cure
our sick world, it can certainly help us to cope with it.
