Papers are sought for a book/special issue of a journal on the topic
of "working-class humor" in any discipline (literary studies, cinema, art,
folklore, anthropology, history, etc.) and using any theoretical approach. The
focus of the collection is the interplay of the category of humor (roughly
defined as anything that can be perceived as funny, amusing, etc.) with the
working-class. Of particular interest are essays that pursue the topic of
working-class humor in relation to genre, ethnicity, race, geography, and
history. Both papers that deal with the representation of the working class in
humorous discourse and/or on the use of humor by the working class are
welcome. Expressions of interest are due anytime; actual papers will be due in
April 2007.
