HUMOR AND POWER IN THE AMERICAS
Submissions are invited for a collection of new scholarly essays which
will interrogate and refine recent, interesting, or influential ideas in
cultural theory, cultural historiography, and formal analysis by
engaging issues, phenomena, and “texts” related to humor, comedy,
laughter, wit, absurdity, disposition, etc. In other words, I am
interested in methodologically self-conscious articles which work across
and/or between various media of communication (like language, writing,
film, television, digital technologies, sound/music, performance, and
fashion), particular social formations, and the entrenched assumptions
of related scholarly disciplines (like anthropology, psychology,
literary studies, media studies, folklore, art history, area studies,
philosophy, and law). Send abstracts, complete essays, or expressions
of interest ASAP--completed first drafts will be due December 1,
1999--to: Rich Cante, Department of Communication Studies, The
University of North Carolina, CB #3285, Bingham Hall, Chapel Hill, NC
27599-3285, Department Phone: (919) 962-2311. Email (till July 15, 1999
only): "rcante@chicagonet.net"
