Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy teaches foundational sociological concepts using comedy, first considering the history of sociology before employing examples from comedians - including standalone comedy bits, sketches, characters, and scenes - to illustrate a specific theory, concept, or social phenomenon. The profession of comedy is then used as a case study for the application of sociological concepts, such as impression management, social stratification, racial segregation, deviance, and stigma, allowing readers to gain familiarity with the concepts while simultaneously practicing their application.
This book explains why we laugh by applying theories of humor, which will bolster students' understanding of sociological principles by forcing them to question their own assumptions - helping them to put why they laugh into sociological terms.
Reviews / Votes
"Julie Morris's Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy is the textbook I would have wanted in my undergrad sociology class! By meeting students where they are through familiar comedians, TV shows, movies, and podcasts, this work introduces the most important sociological concepts in a way that is rigorous, accessible, and entertaining. Even better, this book is a great intro to comedy for sociologists and a great intro to sociology for comedy scholars."Stephanie Brown, Visiting Assistant Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Washington College

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
