Synopsis

Comedy Form Roots explores the rich history of theatrical comedy, examining its evolution across diverse cultures and eras. It argues that despite variations, core elements consistently reappear, reflecting universal human concerns. The book traces the development of comedic archetypes, like the trickster, revealing fundamental aspects of human nature. It also examines how satire has been used from ancient Greece to modern political discourse to critique power and challenge societal norms.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with fundamental comedic concepts. Subsequent chapters delve into specific historical periods and cultural traditions, analyzing the development of comedic forms in each. By drawing upon play scripts, performance records, and critical essays, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, connecting theatre history with sociology, political science, and anthropology. This sheds light on comedy's broader cultural significance.

 
What makes Comedy Form Roots unique is its comparative approach, analyzing comedic traditions from around the world. This perspective challenges Eurocentric views of comedy and offers a more inclusive understanding of its global history. This valuable resource is designed to engage scholars and students interested in theatre, humor, and cultural history, offering insights applicable to the analysis of contemporary comedy.

    Whether or not your child has a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder (SPD), or simply has sensory sensitivities when it comes to food, this book will help you set your child up for successful mealtimes, turning the most stressful time of the day into a time that your family can spend relaxing and bonding together around the table.

    How Nations Escape Poverty -...

    During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Rainer Zitelmann identifies the reasons behind the sensational growth of both nations' economies, drawing out the lessons that other countries can learn from these two success stories. To explain the source of their success, he returns to Adam Smith's 1776 treatise, The Wealth of Nations: the only way to overcome poverty is through economic growth, and economic freedom is the crucial prerequisite for such growth. Developments over the past 250 years have proved Smith right. 
     
     
     
    Despite these strides, almost ten percent of the world's population still lives in extreme poverty. So, what measures actually help to alleviate poverty today? Through a wealth of data and stories from the everyday lives of Polish and Vietnamese people who experienced reforms, Zitelmann demonstrates the persistent relevance of Smith's ideas to economic flourishing in the twenty-first century.
