Each chapter deals with specific themes and approaches, from the construct of outsider and complexity of humour, to Outsider Art and spaces, using various theoretical and analytical methods. Paul Clements draws on humour especially from visual arts and culture (and to a lesser extent literature, film, music and performance) as a tool of ridicule, amongst other discourses, employed by the powerful but also as a weapon to satirize them. These ambiguous representations vary depending on context, often assimilated then re-interpreted in a game of authenticity that is poignant in a world of facsimile and 'fake news'. The humour styles of a range of artists are highlighted to reveal the fluidity and diversity of meaning which challenges expectations and at its best offers resistance and crucially a voice for the marginal. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in art history, cultural studies, fine art, humour studies and visual culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Difference (Philosophy) in art. 650 0 $a Other (Philosophy) in art. 650 0 $a Arts, Modern $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Wit and humor in art. 650 0 $a Wit and humor $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Arts, Modern $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818159 650 7 $a Difference (Philosophy) in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00893408 650 7 $a Other (Philosophy) in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904147 650 7 $a Wit and humor in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176303 650 7 $a Wit and humor $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176299 776 08 $i Online version: $a Clements, Paul, 1959- $t The outsider, art and humour $d New York : Routledge, 2020 $z 9781003031369 $w (DLC) 2019058867 830 0 $a Routledge advances in art and visual studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017014654.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3A15AD4FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
