Arguing that in a cultural climate largely characterised by fractious communications and perilous linguistic exchanges, the very role of irony in popular culture needs to come under greater scrutiny, it focuses on the many uses, abuses, and misunderstandings of irony in contemporary popular culture, and explores the troubling political populism at the heart of many supposedly satirical and (apparently) non-satirical texts. In an environment in which irony is frequently claimed as a defence for material and behaviour judged controversial, how do we, as a society entrenched in forms of popular culture and media, interpret work that is intended as satire but which reads as unironic? How do we accurately decode works of popular film, literature, television, music, and other cultural forms which sell themselves as bitingly ironic commentaries on current society, but which are also problematic celebrations of the very issues they purport to critique? And what happens when texts intended and received in one manner are themselves ironically recontextualised in another? Bringing together studies across a range of cultural texts including popular music, film and television, Isn't it Ironic? will appeal to scholars of the social sciences and humanities with interests in cultural studies, media studies, popular culture, literary studies and sociology"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Irony $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Popular culture $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Populism. 650 7 $a Irony $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979389 650 7 $a Popular culture $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071386 650 7 $a Populism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071658 700 1 $a Kinane, Ian, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Isn't it ironic? $b 1. $d New York : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003080350 $w (DLC) 2020049374 830 0 $a The cultural politics of media and popular culture 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011934.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC5BEBB6EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
