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.
