| Omschrijving | This year's course will focus on various forms of humor and satire in Italian literature, cinema and popular culture from 2000 to the present. Particular attention will be given to the following: 1) Controversial humor across media (from literature to memes, music and cartoons) and ongoing debates on satire and freedom of speech; 2) Political satire, ambiguity, and (anti-)populism: crossing the divide or fostering polarization? 3) The function of irony and comedy in defining new forms of realism in Italian literature and cinema. In order to analyse the selected case studies, we will engage with the latest developments in humor studies from a variety of disciplinary perspectives (from literature and culture to psychology and the social sciences). |
