Tungkol sa ebook na ito

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.
