{"product_id":"the-poetics-and-politics-of-9783837662603","title":"The Poetics and Politics of Invective Humor: Disparagement in Contemporary Female-Led Us Sitcoms","description":"Vituperation, disparagement, and debasement seem to have become part of the mainstream discourse in contemporary US-American media culture. Zooming in on a distinct televisual comedy genre, Katja Schulze explores the formal principles, media-specific realizations, and the cultural work of disparagement in contemporary female-led situation comedies. Subsequently, larger patterns of (gender-based) invective strategies and conventions that define the dynamism of this comedic genre come into view. Her study outlines case studies of popular sitcoms, like Parks and Recreation, Mike \u0026amp; Molly, and the revival of hit-sitcom Roseanne, thereby unearthing how the shows are able to stage humor as mass-mediated deprecation - a signifying practice with its own poetics and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katja Schulze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837662608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837662603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Katja Schulze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078866170111,"sku":"9783837662603","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1862d2a2-e003-4de5-a87f-ab5522c86191.jpg?v=1685477975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetics-and-politics-of-9783837662603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
