Despite its unabated popularity with audiences, slapstick has
received rather little scholarly attention, mostly by scholars
concentrating on the US theater and cinema traditions. Nonetheless,
as a form of physical humor slapstick has a long history across
various areas of cultural production. This volume approaches
slapstick both as a genre of situational physical comedy and as a
mode of communicating an affective situation captured in various
cultural products. Contributors to the volume examine cinematic,
literary, dramatic, musical, and photographic texts and
performances. From medieval chivalric romance and
nineteenth-century theater to contemporary photography, the
contributors study treatments of slapstick across media, periods
and geographic locations. The aim of a study of such wide scope is
to demonstrate how slapstick emerged from a variety of complex
interactions among different traditions and by extension, to
illustrate that slapstick can be highly productive for
interdisciplinary research.
