OverviewThis critical intervention in the study of the comic seeks to investigate how the comic act is also an expressive and performative philosophical act that precedes philosophical conceptualisation. The book puts Bergson, philosophy and the body at the centre of its investigation, and uses these elements to explore five different aspects of the field, from the history and philosophy of comedy, to film, psychoanalysis and the comic performance of the future. Through this, the volume develops a theoretical and practice-based framework and is a valuable resource for students, scholars and practitioners alike in the fields of philosophy, performance studies and comedy studies, among others.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis fascinating collection of essays reveals that the comic is not funny. It's about things close to the tragic, the grotesque, impotence, and crying--all the things that make up what we call our world.

A ground-breaking series of essays invite us to take 'the comic very seriously', while also offering a varied range of perspectives on topics drawn from theatre, performance, film, and literature. --Jim Davis, professor of theatre studies, University of Warwick This fascinating collection of essays reveals that the comic is not funny.
