The first shortcoming suggests a theoretical void: that although “a number of different disciplines take comedy as their subject matter, the opportunities afforded to the inter-disciplinary study of comedy are rarely, if ever, capitalized on.”1 The second indicates a methodological void: there is a “lack of literature on ‘how’ to analyse stand-up comedy.”2 This research project examines the relationship between political consciousness and satirical humour in stand-up comedy and attempts to redress these two shortcomings.

  • Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and REPRESENTATIONS and DISCOURSES
    Chaney and Brown: Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCOURSES . Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and R&B over Time Cassandra Chaney and Arielle Brown This study will examine how representations and discourses regarding Black motherhood have changed in the Hip Hop and R&B genres over time. Specifically, this scholarly work will contextualize the lyrics of 79 songs (57 Hip Hop songs; 18 R&B songs; 2 songs represented the Hip Hop and R&B genre; 2 songs represented artists who produce music in 5 or 6 genres) from 1961-2015 to identify the ways that Black male and Black female artists described motherhood. Through the use of Black Feminist Theory, and by placing the production of these songs within a sociohistorical context, we provide an in-depth qualitative examination of song lyrics related to Black motherhood. Results gave evidence that representations and discourse of motherhood have been largely shaped by patriarchy as well as cultural, political, and racial politics whose primary aim was to decrease the amount of public support for poor, single Black mothers. In spite of the pathological framing of Black mothers, most notably through the “welfare queen” and “baby mama” stereotypes, a substantial number of Hip Hop and R&B artists have provided a strong counter narrative to Black motherhood by highlighting their positive qualities, acknowledging their individual and collective struggle, and demanding that these women be respected. How has patriarchy influenced the production and release of Hip Hop and R&B songs related to Black motherhood? In what ways has Hip Hop and R&B supported and challenged dominant representations and discourses surrounding Black 1 motherhood? How has Black Feminist Theory validated the experiences of Black mothers in Hip Hop and R&B? This manuscript will respond to these three questions by examining how societal changes have directly influenced how Black mothers in Hip Hop and R&B2 are intellectualized.

  • Standup-Stjärnan Eddie Griffin Till Stockholm
    2014-08-18 11:55 CEST Standup-stjärnan Eddie Griffin till Stockholm Den 18 november kommer Eddie Griffin för första gången någonsin till Sverige. Eddie är en underhållare ut i fingerspetsarna och har utsetts till en av världens bästa komiker någonsin av Comedy Central. Under sina 24 år på scenen har han hyllats för sina giftiga skämt, träffsäkra imitationer och höga tempo. Eddie Griffin är också en erfaren skådespelare som medverkat i över 50 filmer och vunnit pris för en av huvudrollerna i humorserien "Malcolm and Eddie”. Biljetterna till föreställningen “Living Legend Tour” på China teatern i Stockholm släpps onsdag 20 augusti. Eddie Griffin är en naturbegåvning som underhållare med över 20 års erfarenhet. Kort efter sin debut som standup-komiker slog han igenom på bred front och turnerade över hela USA. Han är också en populär skådespelare som varit med i över 50 filmer och flera tv-serier. Dessutom har han som artist släppt två album och medverkat på skivor av Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg och T-Pain. Karriären inleddes dock som dansare och Eddie öppnade sin egen dansstudio redan som 16-åring. På standup-scenen håller Eddie Griffin ett högt tempo med rappa, orädda skämt om allt från rasism och fördomar till vardagssituationer och politik. Han har under sin långa karriär arbetat upp en imponerande tajming och använder sin erfarenhet som skådespelare när han växlar mellan karaktärer och gör träffsäkra imitationer både med sin röst och sitt kroppsspråk. Den 18 november kommer Eddie Griffin äntligen till Sverige och China teatern i Stockholm med sin världsturné “Living Legend Tour”.
