Klappentext zu „Acting Funny on the Catalan Stage “
Comedy has been a constant presence in the history of Catalan theatre, but it is rarely recognized as a separate generic identity, worthy of academic study as a whole. This volume is the first concentrated attempt to analyse Catalan theatre under the comic lens, with essays in English and Catalan. It studies comic form, performative innovation, and socio-political function. As well as providing detailed analyses of figures excluded from standard accounts, it makes a strong case for the originality of many authors, directors, and actors. This is definitely another realm in which the Catalan contribution to European culture needs to be acknowledged and appreciated. Moreover, the book provides an exceptional platform on which theatre is considered - within the same project - from several regions where Catalan is spoken: Spanish Catalonia, the Valencia region, and different towns in French Catalonia.La hilaritat sempre ha tingut una presència molt important en l'evolució del teatre català, tot i que rarament ha comptat amb un estudi i reconeixement acadèmics. Aquest volum proposa una anàlisi de diverses formes d'humor de l'escena catalana, amb una selecció d'assaigs en anglès i català d'experts de diferents universitats. S'hi examinen algunes propostes de comicitat, innovacions performatives i la projecció sociopolítica d'aquesta jocositat. També s'hi estudia l'originalitat d'un conjunt d'autors, directors i actors al marge de l'humor políticament correcte. Sens dubte, un altre àmbit, el de riure, en el qual cal reconèixer i posar en valor la contribució catalana a la cultura europea. El llibre constitueix un cas rar on es considera el teatre -dins d'un mateix projecte- de diversos espais geogràfics on es parla català: Catalunya (sobretot Barcelona), el País Valencià i diferents pobles del Rosselló.
