Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy
Autor Julie Morrisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2024
Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy teaches foundational sociological concepts using comedy, first considering the history of sociology before employing examples from comedians – including standalone comedy bits, sketches, characters, and scenes – to illustrate a specific theory, concept, or social phenomenon. The profession of comedy is then used as a case study for the application of sociological concepts, such as impression management, social stratification, racial segregation, deviance, and stigma, allowing readers to gain familiarity with the concepts while simultaneously practicing their application.
This book explains why we laugh by applying theories of humor, which will bolster students’ understanding of sociological principles by forcing them to question their own assumptions – helping them to put why they laugh into sociological terms.

Recenzii
"Julie Morris's Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy is the textbook I would have wanted in my undergrad sociology class! By meeting students where they are through familiar comedians, TV shows, movies, and podcasts, this work introduces the most important sociological concepts in a way that is rigorous, accessible, and entertaining. Even better, this book is a great intro to comedy for sociologists and a great intro to sociology for comedy scholars."
