SERIOUSLY PLAYFUL AND PLAYFULLY SERIOUS: THE HELPFULNESS OF HUMOROUS PARODY 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 Michael Richard Lucas May 2014 Accepted by: Victor J. Vitanza, Committee Chair Stephaine Barczewski Cynthia Haynes Beth Lauritis i ABSTRACT In the following work I create and define the parameters for a specific form of humorous parody. I highlight specific problematic narrative figures that circulate the public sphere and reinforce our serious narrative expectations. However, I demonstrate how critical public pedagogies are able to disrupt these problematic narrative expectations. Humorous parodic narratives are especially equipped to help us in such situations when they work as a critical public/classroom pedagogy, a form of critical rhetoric, and a form of mass narrative therapy. These findings are supported by a rhetorical analysis of these parodic narratives, as I expand upon their ability to provide a practical model for how to create/analyze narratives both inside/outside of the classroom. Because these parodic narratives serve as an impetus for creative inquiry, I focus specifically on the importance of humor and play within the classroom and within practices of self-narration. ii DEDICATION To my selves—for writing this. And everyone else. But not you. I don’t trust you yet. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for their love and support in this and all my endeavors. I feel very fortunate to have such lovely people in my life. I would like to say something funny and clever here, but I am fresh out of witticisms at the moment, and seeing as how my Dear Reader has so many tiresome pages left to read, I am sure you already regret having landed on this page, as most acknowledgement pages are a complete waste of time and are highly unoriginal; e.g., scholars thank their significant others, pets, favorite prostitutes, insignificant others, famous dead people they have never met but want to align themselves with, and (the absolute worse) their family and friends!!! But look at me, just writing away when you want to get on with the main course! How rude. My sincerest apologies, Dear Reader; however, while I am at it, I might as well expand on the individuals/strange series of successes and failures that have led/driven me to write this dissertation. I was born on February 17th, 1986 in Medford Oregon. From humble beginnings to even humbler endings, [. .] 1 1 Editor’s Note: I, Martin Tagamas, have redacted the following 300–odd pages that, while humorous and entertaining, do not appear to relate to the deceased scholar’s following body of scholarship. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page TITLE PAGE .................................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... ii DEDICATION ................................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .............................................................................................. iv CHAPTER I.

I would have preferred to write a more thoroughly parodic dissertation, but I am aware of my academic surroundings, and I therefore must appear to respect that genre (to get a job, to impress others, to pay off my graduate student loans, etc.). Instead of writing either a purely academic dissertation or a purely parodic/entertaining dissertation, I will do both and. This is in keeping with the golden [un]rule of group comedy: saying “yes, and…” In doing both and I hope to provide you, my Dear Reader, with an interesting opportunity to say “yes,

  • Racism and Bad Faith
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gregory Alan Jones for the degree ofMaster ofArts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Philosophy, Philosophy and History presented on May 5, 2000. Title: Racism and Bad Faith. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Leilani A. Roberts Human beings are condemned to freedom, according to Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness. Every individual creates his or her own identity according to choice. Because we choose ourselves, each individual is also completely responsible for his or her actions. This responsibility causes anguish that leads human beings to avoid their freedom in bad faith. Bad faith is an attempt to deceive ourselves that we are less free than we really are. The primary condition of the racist is bad faith. In both awarelblatant and aware/covert racism, the racist in bad faith convinces himself that white people are, according to nature, superior to black people. The racist believes that stereotypes ofblack inferiority are facts. This is the justification for the oppression ofblack people. In a racist society, the bad faith belief ofwhite superiority is institutionalized as a societal norm. Sartre is wrong to believe that all human beings possess absolute freedom to choose. The racist who denies that black people face limited freedom is blaming the victim, and victim blaming is the worst form ofracist bad faith. Taking responsibility for our actions and leading an authentic life is an alternative to the bad faith ofracism.

Using a mix of actors and non-actors, the small crew used documentary techniques to give the experience of a true story unfolding in real time. Often filming in four to five locations a day and using a script in which specific dialogue was scarce but the intention for each scene was detailed, actors improvised fully in the moment to allow their characters to develop naturally. What resulted was a team in-sync and fully ready to capture the chaotic world around them. 49 west 27th street 7th floor new york, ny 10001 tel 212 924 6701 fax 212 924 6742 www.magpictures.com 1. ABOUT THE CAST As one half of comedy duo “Tim and Eric” and creator of Abso Lutely Productions, Tim Heidecker can easily be viewed as a godfather of subversive, alt-comedy. With roles in “Us”, “Eastbound & Down”, “Awesome Show”, “Portlandia” and more, Mr. Heidecker has helped to affect the comedy landscape for years to come. As a co-creator of On Cinema and its ensuing worlds with Gregg Turkington, he’s been able to prod at multiple facets of society.

  • 1 a Comedy of Errors Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
    A Comedy of Errors or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Sensibility- Invariantism about ‘Funny’ Ryan Doerfler Abstract: In this essay, I argue that sensibility-invariantism about ‘funny’ is defensible, not just as a descriptive hypothesis, but, as a normative position as well. What I aim to do over the course of this essay is to make the realist commitments of the sensibility- invariantist out to be much more tenable than one might initially think them to be. I do so by addressing the two major sources of discontent with sensibility-invariantism: the observation that discourse about comedy exhibits significant divergence in judgment, and the fact that disagreements about comedy, unlike disagreements about, say, geography, often strike us as fundamentally intractable. Consider the following scenario: Jane (27 years old) and Sarah (nine) are together on the couch watching an episode of Arrested Development. While Jane thinks that the show is utterly hilarious and is, as a result, having a wonderful time, Sarah finds the show slightly confusing and is, as a result, rather bored. During a commercial break, Jane turns to Sarah and says, ‘Arrested Development is incredibly funny!’ In the above scenario, Sarah will likely respond by saying something like, ‘I don’t think it’s very funny,’ a response that Jane will regard as an attempt to call into question her preceding assertion. Given the circumstances, it is likely that will make certain concessions (e.g., ‘Oh… well yes I can see how the show’s humor is probably a bit lost on someone your age.’).

  • The Suspension of Seriousness
    CHAPTER ONE Matters of Life and Death And López Wilson, astigmatic revolutionist come to spy upon his enemy’s terrain, to piss on that frivolous earth and be eyewit- ness to the dying of capitalism while at the same time enjoying its death-orgies. —Carlos Fuentes, La región más transparente (1958) Introduction wentieth-century Mexican philosophy properly considered boasts Tof a number of great thinkers worthy of inclusion in any and all philosophical narratives. The better known of these, Leopoldo Zea, José Vasconcelos, Antonio Caso, Samuel Ramos, and, to a great extent, Octavio Paz, have received their fair share of attention in the United States over the last fifty years, partly due to a concerted effort by a few philosophy professors in the US academy who find it necessary to dis- combobulate the Eurocentric philosophical canon with outsiders. For reasons which I hope to make clear in what follows, Jorge Portilla is not one of these outsiders to which attention has been paid—even in his homeland, where he is more likely to be recognized, not as one of Mex- ico’s most penetrating and attuned minds, but rather by his replicant, López Wilson, a caricature of intelligence and hedonism immortalized by Carlos Fuentes in his first novel. This oversight is unfortunate, since Portilla is by far more outside than the rest; in fact, the rest find approval precisely because they do not stray too far afield, keeping to themes and methodologies in tune with the Western cannon. One major reason for 1 2 The Suspension of Seriousness the lack of attention paid to Portilla has to do with his output, restricted as it is to a handful of essays and the posthumously published text of his major work, Fenomenología del relajo.

  • Comedic Devices Funsheet
    !Find The Funny: Comedic Devices Funsheet Every comedic script uses comedic devices. A single scene will contain multiple comedic devices. Use this list of comedic devices to identify where and how the writer is expressing the comedy in your audition scenes. Then use your discoveries to inform your acting choices! Gaffe – An act or remark causing embarrassment by shattering a social construct. These are usually embarrassing to the characters (and funny to us) because they are done/seen/found out in public. • Conscious Gaffe – Character is aware they are going to be embarrassed but you do it anyway. • Unconscious Gaffe- Character isn’t aware of their Gaffe / that it is a gaffe. Opposites - What makes reversals and unexpected moments work. Play both with conviction and highlight the opposites to get the biggest laugh. Social Awkwardness – A moment that draws its humor from one or multiple characters being socially uncomfortable. This device revolves around anxiety of social interactions (either in general or with one particular person). This can come from the fear of being rejected/made fun of, not knowing what to say, etc. Overstatement – Hyperbole. An extreme magnification or exaggeration. It blows something completely out of proportion for a distorted effect. Happens often when a character puts huge value on something that, to us, seems trivial. Understatement – Making something seem much less than what it is. An under-exaggeration.
