PWR 2HR: Writing & Rhetoric 2: What¿s So Funny? Humor, Race, Class and Gender

South Park, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Boondocks, and stand-up comedians like Margaret Cho, Chris Rock, Eddie Izzard, and Carlos Mencia all put current events through the satirical wringer, persuading us to laugh at political leaders like Barack Obama (or remember Tina Fey's impersonation of Sarah Palin?), cultural icons, our enemies and ourselves. But who and what are we laughing at (and with) when, for example, Dave Chappelle plays a black (and blind) Ku Klux Klan leader, and what ends does this kind of satire serve?

nnIn this class, we'll analyze cartoons and jokes about and by feminists, LGBTs, ethnic minorities, and rednecks, and watch movies like Harold and Kumar and Team America: World Police to understand how satire works as social criticism; we'll analyze post 9-11 cartoons of a weeping Lady Liberty and a revengeful Uncle Sam and discuss how they reflect important moral values about race, sex, gender, and religion, and help us cope with tragedies and contested events like the war in Iraq; we'll also discuss how, for example, redneck humor legitimizes social and economic inequalities in the U.S., and how satire in general dissolves anxieties about our tendency to fail as leaders, citizens, and humans. For your research project, you'll be free to choose any topic involving the use of humor, historic or contemporary, from the United States or abroad. Satisfies WR-1.
