This book challenges the framing of comedic acts as apolitical and
it adopts a multimodal critical discourse approach to interrogate
the performance of comedy as a form of power. It proposes using
Bakhtin's carnivalesque as the analytic tool to distil for readers
key differences between humour as banal and humour as critical (and
political) in today's social media. Drawing from critical theory
and cultural studies, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach
in formulating a contemporary view of power that reflects social
realities not only in the digital economy but also in a world that
is increasingly authoritarian. With the proposition of newer
theoretical lenses in this book, scholars and social scientists can
then find a way to shift the conversation to uncover the evolving
voices of (existing and newer) power holders in the shared digital
space; and to view current social realities as a continual project
in unpacking and understanding the adaptive ways of the human
spirit.
