New perspectives on humor within photography
Despite the ubiquitous presenceof photographic humor in art and popular media, the phenomenon has as yetreceived very little scholarly attention. Focusing on staged humor rather thanon comic effects of snapshot photography, this volume brings together leadingscholars in the field addressing humor performed in front of the camera, oftenspecifically created for the camera, and the performative joke-work done by themedium itself. A first section explores how photography, due to its"shattering" qualities, turns into a privileged medium for eliciting humorouseffects and how humor can be discerned within the photographic event. A secondsection discusses the toolbox of photographic trickery (photomontage, doubleexposure and cinematic movement) that allows photography to mock itself. The bookcloses with a section on photographic wit in conceptual art, both in canonizedand more locally distinct practices.
