Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals draws together essays that contribute to the analysis of the stand-up-comedian-as-public intellectual since the 1980s. The chapters explore stand-up comedians as contributors to and shapers of public discourse via their live performances, podcasts, social media presence, and political activism. Each chapter highlights a stand-up comedian and their ongoing discussion of a cultural issue or expression of a political ideology/standpoint: Lisa Lampanelli's use of problematic postracial humor, Aziz Ansari's merging of sociology and technology, or Maria Bamford's emphasis on mental health, to name just a few. Taking a Stand offers a starting point for understanding the work stand-up comedians do as well as its reach beyond the stage"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Stand-up comedy $z United States $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a United States $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Intellectual life $y 21st century. 650 6 $a Monologue comique $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire et critique. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Vie intellectuelle $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Vie intellectuelle $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Stand-up comedy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131440 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 7 $a Stand-up comedy $z United States $x History and criticism $2 nli 651 7 $a United States $x Intellectual life $y 20th century $2 nli 651 7 $a United States $x Intellectual life $y 21st century $2 nli 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Champion, Jared N., $e editor. $4 edt 700 1 $a Kunze, Peter C. $q (Peter Christopher), $e editor. $4 edt 776 08 $i Online version: $t Taking a stand $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021 $z 9781496835505 $w (DLC) 2021036663 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4C11F6E6FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
