August 2018 Lea Nüske Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit Comedy as Resistance – Indian Stand-Up Comedians and Their Fight Against India’s Anti-Democratic Tendencies beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob und inwiefern Stand-Up Comedy in Indien als Mittel zum sozio-politischen Widerstand genutzt wird und wie weitreichend dieser Widerstand einzuschätzen ist. Um diese Frage zu beantworten werden zunächst die Merkmale des Genres sowie ihre Funktionen untersucht, um herauszustellen, weshalb sich besonders Stand-Up Comedy dafür eignet, indirekten politischen Widerstand zu leisten. Auch die Geschichte des satirischen Widerstandes und des Genres Stand-Up Comedy im indischen Kontext sowie die soziale Spaltung der Gesellschaft, die durch verschiedene Konflikte zum Ausdruck gebracht wird

  • Laughing About Caste an Analysis of How Caste Considerations Find Representation in the Genre of English Stand- up Comedy on the Internet in India
    Connections: A Journal of Language, Media and Culture Laughing About Caste An analysis of how caste considerations find representation in the genre of English stand- up comedy on the internet in India Shreyashi Ganguly1 1 Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The literature on humour in India has largely evaded the question of how humour intersects with caste stratification. Not much has been written about humour’s potential to discriminate against certain caste groups of the lower social order. Similarly, the traditional media in India has been silent about the issue of caste following which, social media has emerged as the ‘counter publics’ where caste identity can be collectively and freely expressed. Taking the now flourishing brand of English stand-up comedy on the Internet in India as an entry point, this study investigates if the symbolic articulation of caste identities is at all made possible in this genre. Using a combination of discourse analysis and social media analysis, to examine the jokes produced in stand-up shows, in this paper I try to gauge how frequently, and in what ways, caste finds mention in these performances on the Internet. I find that caste identity, and the associated discrimination, are hardly evoked in the comedians’ discourse. And when spoken about, they are often done so in a disparaging light. I conclude this paper by illuminating the ways in which this disparaging humour bolsters caste discrimination, sustains stereotypes and, in the process, conditions the normalized exclusion of lower-caste groupings from the public sphere.

    INDIAN OTT PLATFORMS REPORT 2019 New Regional Flavours, more Entertaining Content INDIAN TRENDS 2018-19 Relevant Statistics & Insights from an Indian Perspective. Prologue Digital technology has steered the third industrial revolution and influenced human civilization as a whole. A number of industries such as Media, Telecom, Retail and Technology have witnessed unprecedented disruptions and continue to evolve their existing infrastructure to meet the challenge. The telecom explosion in India has percolated to every corner of the country resulting in easy access to data, with Over-The-Top (OTT) media services changing how people watch television. The Digital Media revolution has globalized the world with 50% of the world’s population going online and around two-thirds possessing a mobile phone. Social media has penetrated into our day-to-day life with nearly three billion people accessing it in some form. India has the world’s second highest number of internet users after China and is fully digitally connected with the world. There is a constant engagement and formation of like-minded digital communities. Limited and focused content is the key for engaging with the audience, thereby tapping into the opportunities present, leading to volumes of content creation and bigger budgets.
