Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2015.

This dissertation looks at some of the major tropes and performers of black comedy from the Civil Rights Era to the present Obama Age. It asks: Can a discourse on humor technologies be used as a critical race hermeneutic? What the work shows is that such a consideration reveals a complex matrix of ironic relationships embedded in the daily performance of rhetorical and corporal ideologies which create consistent frictions between races and genders. Turning to Simon Critchley and others this dissertation shows us how humor can point us in the direction of a concrete rhetorical utopia through language.

520 $a This dissertation looks at some of the major tropes and performers of black comedy from the Civil Rights Era to the present Obama Age. It asks: Can a discourse on humor technologies be used as a critical race hermeneutic? What the work shows is that such a consideration reveals a complex matrix of ironic relationships embedded in the daily performance of rhetorical and corporal ideologies which create consistent frictions between races and genders. Turning to Simon Critchley and others this dissertation shows us how humor can point us in the direction of a concrete rhetorical utopia through language.
520 $a One of the major contributions of the study is in the treatment of the Dozens. Beginning with Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s work on the Signifying Monkey tales we are able to see how academics have identified playing the Dozens as a black traditional rhetorical practice. According to folkloric studies the insult "game' targets the black mother and the black family and is most often played by inner city youth. This study asks if this "joke" work that hinges on insulting the black family has been studied from another viewpoint? It therefore looks at the ways in which white hegemonic power structures have traditionally played the dozens by targeting the black mother and the black family.
520 $a Taking on the beginning of main stream cross dressing as one of the most lucrative black humor tropes this dissertation looks at the work of Flip Wilson, Eddie Murphy, and Tyler Perry among others. The thread of comic, tragic, and pure irony weaves itself through the dissertation along with the trope of repetition and the need for self narration. Gesturing to the Harlem Arts Movement of the Sixties this dissertation ends with a call for a black womanist comedy manifesto based on Alice Walker's womanist manifesto of 1983.
