Book Description
A Conversational Takedown of an Edifice. Mainstream comedians today derive much of their appeal by deriding the things that matter. To be humorous in present times, I have learned, is to BE political. For if man is a 'Political Animal', the question is, to which side does his (or her) politics align? In the world of comedy, that 'tilt' appears to be towards one side: the 'Correct' one. So I reckoned, maybe it's time to balance the scales. In an era political turbulence, as populists rise, challenge and in some cases succeed in upending the extant political order. The liberal, post-war, rules-based system appears to be facing its greatest challenge. Underlying this vague conception of a 'liberal order': encompassing democratic nations, which are open to trade, there is an accompanying fascination with a certain set of subjects. Notably, the enchantment with Immigration, to be hot on Climate Change and be enamored of Feminism. Felt by those (the establishment), who in their aim to connect, partner, and integrate like-minded nations into unified global community, failed to (or did not want to) see, that not everyone in the (Western) world, shared the same enthusiasm for their ideals. Ever wondered why it is so difficult to question, debate and if it ever gets that far, ridicule topics like Feminism, Immigration, Climate Change? Specifically a particular (i.e. politicized) understanding of such subjects? Well, the answer is that the advancement of select interpretations of these concepts, and the undermining of competing notions regarding the same points appears to be paramount to upholding the narrative that supports the so-called liberal order. For it's at this key (cultural) juncture where (politicized) humor, advanced by ideologically one-sided humorists, functions as a battering ram to tear down contrarian views. Leading to the popularization of a select understanding on what is 'Correct' about Feminism, Immigration and Climate Change culturally,Covering hot political topics such as Climate Change, Immigration, and Feminism; engaged from the standpoint of 'persons' who affect, and are in turn affected by these subjects (which is almost everyone). With informed conversations predicated on the Socratic method, involving numerous anecdotes, debates and discussions which are both 'historical' and fantastical in nature. Studying the character and political significance of these matters, presented in a comedic form. For if being funny, partly (or wholly) implies being political, being better informed of the subjects at hand can do no harm. Besides the small possibility that one's entrenched opinions on such matters may get challenged or worse, come undone. Politically Incorrect Humor confronts topics which have, for the most part, been cordoned off to those who do not espouse a certain ideological or for the lack of a better word "liberal", position. And it does so in a direct, conversational, and in parts educational manner. So get ready to be humored, or if you choose, offended.

Zizek's Jokes
Author: Slavoj Zizek
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262535300
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Žižek as comedian: jokes in the service of philosophy. “A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.”—Ludwig Wittgenstein The good news is that this book offers an entertaining but enlightening compilation of Žižekisms. Unlike any other book by Slavoj Žižek, this compact arrangement of jokes culled from his writings provides an index to certain philosophical, political, and sexual themes that preoccupy him. Žižek's Jokes contains the set-ups and punch lines—as well as the offenses and insults—that Žižek is famous for, all in less than 200 pages. So what's the bad news? There is no bad news. There's just the inimitable Slavoj Žižek, disguised as an impossibly erudite, politically incorrect uncle, beginning a sentence, “There is an old Jewish joke, loved by Derrida...“ For Žižek, jokes are amusing stories that offer a shortcut to philosophical insight. He illustrates the logic of the Hegelian triad, for example, with three variations of the “Not tonight, dear, I have a headache” classic: first the wife claims a migraine; then the husband does; then the wife exclaims, “Darling, I have a terrible migraine, so let's have some sex to refresh me!” A punch line about a beer bottle provides a Lacanian lesson about one signifier. And a “truly obscene” version of the famous “aristocrats” joke has the family offering a short course in Hegelian thought rather than a display of unspeakables. Žižek's Jokes contains every joke cited, paraphrased, or narrated in Žižek's work in English (including some in unpublished manuscripts), including different versions of the same joke that make different points in different contexts. The larger point being that comedy is central to Žižek's seriousness.
