TAKING A STAND: CONTEMPORARY US STAND-UP COMEDIANS AS PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS, edited by Jared N. Champion and Peter C. Kunze, softcover, stated first printing, 2021. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No signature or bookplate of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in fine condition. 9 x 6, 284 pages, 15 ounces XX [From the back cover] A comprehensive study of comedy as social discourse and how comedians influence public opinion XX Taking a Stand makes a valuable addition to many disciplines, from media studies to gender studies to communication to sociology, not just for the wide breadth of its topics and analysis, but also for the considerable skill with which each chapter is crafted (TED GOURNELOS, author of Popular Culture and the Future of Politics: Cultural Studies and the Tao of South Park). XX Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals draws together essays that contribute to the analysis of the stand-up comedian as public intellectual since the 1980s. The chapters explore stand-up comedians as contributors to and shapers of public discourse via their live performances, podcasts, social media presence, and political activism. Each chapter highlights a stand-up comedian and their ongoing discussion of a cultural issue or expression of a political ideology/standpoint: Lisa Lampanelli's use of problematic postracial humor, Aziz Ansari's merging of sociology and technology, or Maria Bamford's emphasis on mental health, to name just a few. Comedians influence discourse, perspectives, even public policy on myriad issues, and this book sets out to take those jokes seriously. XX JARED N. CHAMPION is assistant professor of writing and interdisciplinary studies at Mercer University. He is editor of Cliffs and Challenges: A Young Woman Explores Yosemite, 1915-1917, PETER C. KUNZE is visiting assistant professor of communication at Tulane University. He is editor or coeditor of multiple publications, including The Films of Wes Anderson: Critical Essays on an Indiewood Icon; American-Australian Cinema: Transnational Connections; and Conversations with Maurice Sendak.…
