Beskrivning
This critical intervention in the study of the comic investigates how the comic act is also an expressive and performative act that precedes philosophical conceptualisation. The book puts Bergson, philosophy and the body at the centre of its investigation to explore different aspects of the field, from the history and philosophy of comedy to film and psychoanalysis. The volume develops a theoretical and practice-based framework that will be a valuable resource for students, scholars and practitioners alike in the fields of philosophy, literary studies, theatre and performance studies and comedy studies.List of Contributors: Caterina Angela Agus, Fred Dalmasso, Lisabeth During, Xavier Escribano, Giovanni Fusetti, Davide Giovanzana, Josephine Gray, María J. Ortega Máñez, Meg Mumford, Jean-Michel Rabaté, Carolyn Shapiro, Lisa Trahair

Mer om författaren

She trained at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris and studied philosophy at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and English literature at the University of Sheffield.

Recensioner i media

This fascinating collection of essays reveals that the comic is not funny. It’s about things close to the tragic, the grotesque, impotence, and crying—all the things that make up what we call our world. Ultimately, it’s appropriate that there is such close etymological affinity between kosmos and komodia.
