Academics Talking About Comedy: Stop Me If You've Heard This One...



Thanks to one of my heroes, Henry Jenkins, we have this conversation about film comedy (in 1, 2, 3 parts) that includes insights from film historians: Andrew Horton (Jeanne H. Smith Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of Oklahoma),  Celestino Deleyto (Professor of Film and English Literature at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), Leger Grindon (Professor of Film and Media Culture at Middlebury College), Rob King (Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto’s Cinema Studies Institute and Department of History),  Claire Mortimer (who teaches film and media studies at Colchester Sixth Form College) and David R. Shumway (Professor of English and Literary and Cultural Studies and Director of the Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon University).
