TIT Punchlines : the case for racial, ethnic, and gender humor.
PUB Westport, Conn. : Praeger Publishers, 2005.
CON Contents: Introduction: The hazards and joys of racial, ethnic and
gender humor-- Why should anyone care about such humor, is it really
harmful, and how I came to spend years studying it.-- 1. The sword and
shield metaphor and other perspectives -- Common mis-perceptions of
stereotype humor and a corrective overview.-- 2. What makes us laugh:
humor theory and research from Plato and Aristotle to Sigmund Freud--
The perennial questions and answers about why we laugh; modern research
showing the social, psychological and physiological benefits of
humor.-- 3. Prejudice, pride and play in ethnic comedy-- Theories,
research, and the wide range of positive social functions served by
humor within minority groups.-- 4. The origins and psychology of
stereotypes and slurs-- Reflections on the unique vocabulary of
disparagement, its surprising sources, connections with obscenities,
and multiple meanings.-- 5. The dominant role of Jews and
Afro-Americans: Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and the culture of irony--
The rise of irony in American culture and how the major targets of
social prejudice became the major creators of contemporary ironic
humor.-- 6. Jewish and Afro-American roots humor: saving grace in the
face of oppression-- The origins, growth and characteristic features of
traditional Jewish and Afro-American humor.-- 7. Males vs. females,
gays vs. straights, and the varieties of gender humor-- Stereotypes
reflecting sexual tensions and social power differences; the rise of
women comedians and their struggle against sexist prejudice.-- 8. The
"new breed" comedians and transformation of ethnicity-- Disparaging
humor is not what it used to be; multi-cultural awareness and the
impact of 9/11; why false stereotypes can be funny.-- 9. Becoming a
comedian: minority status helps but is not enough-- On heredity,
patterns of childhood experience, and the benefits of a minority
background; learning the craft of comedy is harder than it looks.-- 10.
In defense of stereotype humor and its role in our multi-cultural
society-- Comedy in the face of prejudice is no sin. The funny-serious
benefits of laughter amid the endless dilemmas of diversity. Sources
cited and consulted.
