The social role of humour in classroom management: Towards a theoretical understanding
This theoretically-informed paper brings together the fields of education and humour studies to examine the complexities of humour in social interaction and relationships in school classrooms. We address the lack of understanding of humour in the classroom, and the nuances of education and humour, in examples of contemporary English education policy. We argue that education and humour are theoretically aligned in their social purpose of creating …
The Cambridge Companion to Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-up comedy is one of the simplest theatre forms in existence. The comedian stands on a (usually) bare stage, talking straight to the audience in the hope of getting laughs. Yet it has never been more popular, with national scenes developing across every continent except Antarctica. In this insightful and accessibly written volume, diverse chapters explore the subject from many angles, ranging from national scenes, live venues, and recordings…
Intersectionality and the Construction of Humour in Contemporary Stand-up Comedy
As an autobiographical mode of performance, stand-up comedy is interlinked with debates on identity, inequality and social justice. While much of the existing stand-up comedy and identity literature has prioritised the analysis of a single axis of identity, this study significantly extends existing analysis to examine intersectionality in stand-up comedy. Taking an innovative interdisciplinary theoretical approach derived from humour studies and …
On the importance of the dynamics of humour and comedy for constructionism and reflexivity in social science research methodology
Humour and comedy have gained increased significance in academic research in recent years. This article examines the importance of humour and comedy as valuable tools in qualitative social science research methodology. It makes the original contribution of utilizing humour and comedy theory, and critical understandings of both their macro and micro mechanisms and functions, to argue that humour and comedy can accommodate, and indeed, expedite, so…
Brexit tricksters and the reconstruction of taboo. Populism, irony and satire in post-referendum Britain
This article examines the role of irony and satire in public discourse on Brexit. It is argued that pro-Brexit discourse is structurally and textually ironic, that this irony has a significant relationship with taboo and transgression, and that this has implications for the analysis of Brexit. The article shows that an analysis of Brexit discourse must take account of Brexit irony and that this task is specifically aided by insight from critical …

Gender and humour: Examining discourses of hegemony and resistance
Gender relations have formed the content of humour in a multiplicity of contexts, both historically and across societies. Early anthropological accounts of joking relationships traced some gendered
I haven’t heard anything about religion whatsoever”: Audience perceptions of anti-Muslim racism in Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator
Since the late 1990s, Sacha Baron Cohen’s characters have raised controversy, criticism and protest from various groups (for example, from Black activists in 2002 and Hasidic Jews in 2012). The comedy has also been described as satirical or anti-racist. Baron Cohen, as either Ali G, Borat, Bruno, or General Aladeen, has consistently provided comedy that leads to public debate on the relationship between comedy and race, ethnicity and stereotype, …
Working to laugh: Assembling difference in American stand-up comedy venues
This book is framed as a contribution to Urban Nightlife Studies. It employs the method of ethnography to examine, over an eighteen-month period, the organisation and performance of stand-up comedy and cabaret at three urban nightlife venues in one town in the United States of America. The theoretical perspective is informed by French post-structuralism, particular Deleuze and Guattari and Hardt and Negri, and outlines 'affective economies' and '…
Humor and Race
The article explains some of the relationships between race and humor. It gives examples of humor that have been described as racist, through the example of Minstrelsy. It presents an example of humor that attempts a satirical representation of race, through the example of “Till Death Us Do Part.” It offers examples of humor that might act as antiracist resistance from ethnic minority comedians, in situation and stand‐up comedy. Finally, race hum…
Entertainment and Race
This entry explains how race is a flawed idea with no scientific value but exists for the purposes of group identity and boundary making. Race has impacted the development of many forms of entertainment. Examples are drawn from the United States and the United Kingdom. One example is the minstrel. Minstrelsy is shown to be a genre that used race, influenced race stereotypes and created racist epithets, and the music of minstrelsy influenced ragti…
Introduction: Tricksters, humour and activism
This special issue, entitled ‘The Trickster Activist in Global Humour and Comedy’, investigates the relevance of the concept of the trickster for explaining activist expressions that emanate from comedians, or that appear in comedy and humour more generally. Comedy has traditionally been viewed as an aesthetic or entertainment medium. It has often been charged with encouraging stereotype and the affirmation of mainstream audience beliefs. Despite…
New European tricksters: Polish jokes in the context of European Union labour migration
In the context of contemporary European labour migration, where the most publicised pattern of labour migration sees Eastern European migrants move West, the dominant scholarly interpretation of Polish jokes is not applicable for the analysis of much of the joking by or about the Poles. Humour scholars frequently categorise jokes about ethnic groups into stupid or canny categories, and the Poles have been the butt of stupidity (‘Polack’) jokes in…
The rhetoric of disparagement humor: An analysis of anti-semitic joking online
Studies of humor informed by an understanding of rhetoric offer a number of conceptual tools for the analysis of disparagement humor. This article examines recent rhetorical approaches to humor analysis and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. Where possible, it seeks to synthesise these approaches for what might be called an emerging methodological branch of humor studies. Although not all rhetorical analysts can be considered critical theo…
Bad News for Refugees
This book is a successful antidote to much of the populist discourse and ideological myth that circulates on refugees in contemporary Western society. Greg Philo, Emma Briant and Pauline Donald, of the Glasgow Media Group, have produced a clearly written book derived from an empirical study of the media treatment of refugees in the United Kingdom
A rhetorical discourse analysis of online anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic jokes
Constructed with linguistic devices that resemble metaphor and other rhetorical devices, humour has the inbuilt ability to support racism in various readings. Through a discourse analysis of anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic jokes, this article outlines the connections between humorous and serious racism. It explains how online humour expresses two logics of racism: social inclusion and exclusion. Stereotypes and inferiorization are used in combinatio…
Liquid racism and the ambiguity of Ali G
This article analyses Ali G through the concept of ‘liquid racism’. As a polysemic and elusive form, liquid racism requires reflexivity in order to critique it fully, and is a racism that, in media representation, often polarizes debate of its meaning. The article explains how academics have struggled to explain Ali G’s relationship to racism, how his ambiguity is complicated by some social actors seeing him as a real person, before it explains h…
Jokes, rhetoric and embodied racism: A Rhetorical Discourse Analysis of the Logics of Racist Jokes on the Internet
This article outlines the racist rhetoric employed in anti-black jokes on five internet websites. It is argued that racist jokes can act as important rhetorical devices for serious racisms, and thus work in ways that can support racism in particular readings. By offering a rhetorical discourse analysis of jokes containing embodied racism – or the discursive remains of biological racism – it is shown that internet jokes express two key logics of r…
The reverse discourse and resistance of Asian comedians in the West
The article builds on a theoretical framework that analyses the reverse discourse and anti-racist resistance of ethnic comedy, through examples of stand-up comedy produced by British and North American Asians. It is argued that humour often forms a complex rhetoric that can aid the truth status and ambivalence perception of serious discourse, and thus has a serious function. This observation is developed in relation to the concept of reverse disc…
Developing a rhetorical analysis of racist humour: Examining anti-black jokes on the Internet
Racist humour is frequently the subject of media and public debate in relation to issues of offence and acceptability. Despite this, little has been done to analyse it or its relationship to other forms of racism. I argue that an analysis of racist humour needs to account for the rhetorical structures of humour – to consider humour as a rhetorical device similar to metaphor or metonym – that has a persuasive potential. Using jokes from four US we…
The 'Other' Laughs Back: Humour and Resistance in Anti-racist Comedy
This article outlines the 'reverse discourses' of black, African-American and Afro-Caribbean comedians in the UK and USA. These reverse discourses appear in comic acts that employ the sign-systems of embodied and cultural racism but develop, or seek to develop, a reverse semantic effect. I argue the humour of reverse discourse is significant in relation to racism because it forms a type of resistance that can, first, act rhetorically against raci…
Liquid Racism and the Danish Prophet Muhammad Cartoons
This article examines reactions to the October 2005 publication of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. It does so by using the concept of 'liquid racism'. While the controversy arose because it is considered blasphemous by many Muslims to create images of the Prophet Muhammad, the article argues that the meaning of the cartoons is multidimensional, that their analysis is significantly more complex than most comm…
The Skin Color Paradox and the American Racial Order
Dark-skinned blacks in the United States have lower socioeconomic status, more punitive relationships with the criminal justice system, diminished prestige, and less likelihood of holding elective office compared with their lighter counterparts. This phenomenon of “colorism” both occurs within the African American community and is expressed by outsiders, and most blacks are aware of it. Nevertheless, blacks' perceptions of discrimination, belief …
