Produktinformationen zu „Comedy Against Work (ePub)“

Work is a joke. Laughing at it is political.

Humor, Groucho Marx asserted, is reason gone mad. For Walter Benjamin, laughter was the most revolutionary emotion. In a moment when great numbers of people are reevaluating their commitment to the hellscape we call work, what does it mean to take comedy seriouslyand to turn it against work?

Both philosophically brilliant and deeply personal, Comedy Against Work demonstrates how laughing about work can puncture the pretensions of tyrannical bosses while uniting us around a commitment to radically new ways of making the world together. At the same time, Lane-McKinley exposes a war at the heart of contemporary comedy between those who see comedy as a weapon for punching down and those whose laughter points to social transformation. From stand-up to sitcoms, podcasts to late night, comedy reveals our longing to subvert power, escape the prison of work, and envision the joys of a liberated world.
