Demastes argues that comedy has a hard-nosed, pragmatic dimension that can be mobilized against belligerent cultural forces. Drawing from the works of Shakespeare, Stoppard, and a number of other comic masters, Comedy Matters demonstrates how comedy continues to work against cultural regimentation by striving to re-calibrate our decision-making processes and challenging the stultifying rigidity of human economy in the broadest sense of the term.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51681430110496,"sku":"NEW0230604714","price":62.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/518tKQSBwZL.jpg?v=1779363958","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/comedy-matters-from-shakespeare-to-stoppard-0230604714","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
