IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

Contact: [email protected] Comedian Hosts and the Demotic Turn Listen to enough episodes and you begin to consider the wild biographies of writers and artists in relation to your own attempts to pursue your dreams. (Larson 2015) Introduction Over the course of the past decade, the digital medium of audio podcasting has become a robust enterprise. According to numbers in the U.S., Edison Research and Triton Digital survey data in 2017 reveal that four-in-ten Americans ages 12 or older have ever listened to a podcast and 24% have listened to a podcast in the past month, up from 9% in 2008 (Edison Research, 2017). The report claims there are 57 million U.S. monthly listeners. Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary (Elwood and Mancini 2017), estimates some 350,000 podcasts in existence. The surge in the relatively new medium can be attributed to three main factors: a confessional culture, the triumph of experience over expertise, and accessible technology. Over the course of the 20th century, the U.S. experienced a marked trend toward public confessional behavior as well as an embrace of the pro-am (professional-amateur) approach in multiple sectors of society (Leadbeater and Miller, 2004).
