Drawing together research by artists, theorists, curators, and historians from around the world (from Palestine, to Greece, Brazil, and Indigenous Australia), it provides new insight into how humour is weaponised in contemporary art focusing on its role in negotiating complex cultural identities, the expectations of art markets, the impact of historical legacies, as well as its role in bolstering cultural resilience. In so doing, this book explores a vital, yet under-explored, aspect of contemporary art. Over the last decade, we have witnessed an overwhelming emphasis on experiences of precarity and emergency in contemporary art discourse, reflecting a popular view that the decade following the outbreak of the global financial crisis has been marked by an intersection of constant crises (refugee crisis, sovereign debt crisis, environmental disaster, COVID). Comedy in Crises offers innovative analysis of the relationship between this context and the growing use of humour by artists from around the world, making clear the vital role of laughter in mediating the collective trauma that takes shape today in a period of protracted crisis. Chrisoula Lionis is a writer and cultural producer based between Athens, Greece, and Manchester, UK. She is author of Laughter in Occupied Palestine: Comedy and Identity in Art and Film (2016/2022), Co-Director of pedagogical platform Artists for Artists, and Research Fellow on AHRC project Understanding Displacement Aesthetics at the University of Manchester. . 001463350 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001463350 650_0 $$aArt$$xPolitical aspects. 001463350 650_0 $$aWit and humor in art. 001463350 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001463350 7001_ $$aLionis, Chrisoula,$$eeditor. 001463350 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tCOMEDY IN CRISES.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2023$$z3031189604$$w(OCoLC)1345511479 001463350 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in comedy. 001463350 852__ $$bebk 001463350 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-18961-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001463350 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1463350$$pGLOBAL_SET 001463350 980__ $$aBIB 001463350 980__ $$aEBOOK 001463350 982__ $$aEbook 001463350 983__ $$aOnline 001463350 994__ $$a92$$bISE
