Klappentext zu „American Stand-Up and Sketch Comedy: Between Race and Gender “
Stand-up and sketch comedy are live forms of entertainment that have been popularized in America through media. Analyzing theperformance strategies of comedians Dave Chappelle and Margaret Cho, this thesis investigates how these artists construct abject performance identities in order to gain a mainstream orconstituency audience and use irony and parody to create socialcommentary on race, gender and sexual stereotyping. According to John Limon's theory of the abject in stand-up comedy, the comicperformer simultaneously owns and rejects the abject aspects of his/her identity. Is the result then a kind of blackfaceperformance for the benefit of the mainstream, or is the proud performance of one's abjection empowering? This paper exploresthis issue by analyzing performance strategies, the status of parody in the postmodern condition, and the economics of thecultural industry, including the role of the spectator in theconstruction of meaning.
