Description: Title: Standing Up, Speaking Out: Stand-Up Comedy and the Rhetoric of Social Change Editor: Meier, Matthew R. Publisher: Routledge Binding: Hardcover Pages: 252 Dimensions: 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d Product Weight: 1.05 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9781138100282 In recent decades, some of the most celebrated and culturally influential American oratorical performances have come not from political leaders or religious visionaries, but from stand-up comics. Even though comedy and satire have been addressed by rhetorical scholarship in recent decades, little attention has been paid to stand-up. This collection is an attempt to further cultivate the growing conversation about stand-up comedy from the perspective of the rhetorical tradition. It brings together literatures from rhetorical, cultural, and humor studies to provide a unique exploration of stand-up comedy that both argues on behalf of the form's capacity for social change and attempts to draw attention to a series of otherwise unrecognized rhetors who have made significant contributions to public culture through comedy.
