In what ways is comedy subversive? This vital new book critically
considers the importance of comedy in challenging and redefining
our relations to race and racism through the lens of political
correctness. By viewing comedy as both a constitutive feature of
social interaction and as a necessary requirement in the appraisal
of what is often deemed to be 'politically correct', this book
provides an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to the study
of comedy and popular culture. In doing so, it engages with the
social and cultural tensions inherent to our understandings of
political correctness, arguing that comedy can subversively
redefine our approach to 'PC Debates', contestations surrounding
free speech and the popular portrayal of political correctness in
the media and society. Aided by the work of both Slavoj Zizek and
Alenka Zupancic, this unique analysis adopts a
psychoanalytic/philosophical framework to explore issues of race,
racism and political correctness in the widely acclaimed BBC
'mockumentary', The Office (UK), as well as a variety of television
comedies. Drawing from psychoanalysis, social psychology and
philosophy, this book will be highly relevant for postgraduate
students and academic researchers studying comedy, race/racism,
multiculturalism, political correctness and television/film.
