THE PUNK TURN IN COMEDY MASKS OF ANARCHY KRISTA BONELLO RUTTER GIAPPONE
Palgrave Studies in Comedy Series Editors Roger Sabin University of the Arts London London, UK Sharon Lockyer Brunel University London, UK “Punk scholarship and comedy studies offer a wide range of routes into academic enquiry. The relationship between punk, humour and comedy is a largely unexplored area, with rich and exciting potential for research and critical analysis. This fascinating study of the shared influences that informed the evolution of both punk and alternative comedy in the late 1970s and early 1980s is a timely and important contribution to an evolving and expanding field.” —Dr. Russ Bestley, London College of Communication, UK
Comedy is part of the cultural landscape as never before, as older manifestations such as performance (stand-up, plays, etc.), film and TV have been joined by an online industry, pioneered by YouTube and social media. This innovative new book series will help define the emerging comedy studies field, offering fresh perspectives on the comedy studies phenomenon, and opening up new avenues for discussion. The focus is ‘pop cultural’, and will emphasize vaudeville, stand-up, variety, comedy film, TV sit-coms, and digital comedy. It will welcome studies of politics, history, aesthetics, production, distribution, and reception, as well as work that explores international perspectives and the digital realm. Above all it will be pioneering – there is no competition in the publishing world at this point in time. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14644
