| Popis: | Ver��ffentlichung im Verlag geplant My thesis addresses how the fundamentally racial axioms of modern Western Humanism play out in US popular culture generally and improv comedy specifically. The multidisciplinary work mobilizes and touches upon neuroscience, psychoanalysis, Afro-pessimist theory, humor studies, popular cultural studies, Frankfurt school critical theory and several other fields, to lay out how global anti-Blackness functions discursively, affectively as a structuring principle for the continual and lasting procedures of self- and re-making the white modern subject as an enslaver. The study moves back and forth between improv comedy as its specific object/field of study and ��� qua metonymical expansion ��� the Humanist axioms that underlie it qua metonymical expansion. |
