内容提要:
|
Numerous sketch comedy portrayals of presidents that have seeped into the American consciousness C Chevy Chase' s Gerald Ford, Dana Carvey' s George H.W. Bush, and Will Ferrell' s George W. Bush all worked to shape the actual politician' s public persona. The book analyzes these sketches and many others, illustrating how comedy is at the heart of the health and function of American democracy. At its best, satire aimed at the presidency can work as a populist check on executive power, becoming one of the most important weapons for everyday Americans against tyranny and political corruption. At its worst, satire can reflect and promote racism, misogyny, and homophobia in America. |
