No laughing matter : visual humor in ideas of race, nationality, and ethnicity / edited by Angela Rosenthal with David Bindman and Adrian W.B. Randolph. Dartmouth College Press, c2016. Call #: 700.973 N739 Subjects Wit and humor in art.   Race in art.   National characteristics in art.   Ethnicity in art.   Art and society. ISBN:  9781611688214 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Visual humor in ideas of race, nationality, and ethnicity Description:  328 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Encountering humor: racial, national, and ethnic stereotypes -- Racial humor and theories of modern media -- Performative comedy and race. Summary:  "In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, this collection—which gathers scholars in the fields of race, ethnicity, and humor—seems especially urgent. Inspired by Denmark’s Muhammad cartoons controversy, the contributors inquire into the role that racial and ethnic stereotypes play in visual humor and the thin line that separates broad characterization as a source of humor from its power to shock or exploit. The authors investigate the ways in which humor is used to demean or give identity to racial, national, or ethnic groups and explore how humor works differently in different media, such as cartoons, photographs, film, video, television, and physical performance."--Back cover.
