FYS 098: Political Humor:Solvent and Safety Valve of Civic Discourse

Political humor is "serious" business. It deflates the windbag, defiles the true believer, and decries the unjust. Yet humor humanizes with its extraordinary integration of sharpness and lightness. The seminar perspective is broad-the human condition in community-and interdisciplinary, including attention to humanistic and social scientific insights. Significant use is made of primary sources of political humor fromdiverse eras, media, and genres. Seminarians produce and not merely consume political humor. Lennertz
