In der Geschichte der Komiktheorie ist die Medienspezifik der Komik bislang noch kaum erforscht worden. Bisher konzentrierten sich die literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zumeist auf die Gattungsspezifik der Komik, hier vor allem auf literarische Komik, oder auf kulturelle Abhängigkeiten, wenn sie nicht spezielle Gebiete der Komik wie den Schwarzen Humor oder Komik und Holocaust zum Gegenstand hatten. Zwar ist auch das Medium Film untersucht worden, aber nicht unter der Leitfrage, was das Komische im Film von sprachlicher Komik unterscheidet. Die traditionellen Komiktheorien (Inkongruenztheorie, Überlegenheitstheorie, Entlastungstheorie etc.) sind vor allem am Text oder an sozial-psychologischen Implikationen der Komik ausgerichtet. Es gibt aber Verfahrensweisen der Komik, die beispielsweise spezifisch visuell oder spezifisch auditiv sind oder einem Widerspruch zwischen Bild und Ton erwachsen. Im interdisziplinären Dialog zwischen Philosophie, Literatur-, Sprach-, Musik- und Medienwissenschaft fragt der Band nach der für verschiedene Medien und mediale Konstellationen spezifischen Komik.

""This book chronicles the author's experience with sobriety and recovery, offering relief and hope to recovering substance abusers and their loved ones. With optimism and humor, the author explores an enduringly human struggle-living with a consciousness addicted to alteration. While documenting the world of active addiction and his recovery from substance abuse, the author guides others on their own journey with sobriety. Chapters provide reminders and meditations to the newly recovering; lists of activities and life experiences to enjoy in sobriety; insights into a world seen through "clear" eyes; etiquette for the refined recoverer; behavioral observations and humorous anecdotes from addicts on the mend. Wrapped in satire and wit, this honest and personally reflective guidebook will be recognizable and helpful to recovering addicts and to their friends and families."-Provided by publisher"--

By analyzing three different comics on Instagram by the Lebanese political cartoonist, the Art of Boo, this essay argues that comics generate political meaning through emulating the medium of Instagram on the one hand, and by inviting the audience to become active participants on the other. Although a lot has been written about digital activism and political cartoons in the Arab world, little has been theorized about what makes this form of political artistic expression and dissent powerful on digital platforms. By drawing on Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, this essay demonstrates that the medium of comics operates as a multifold mirror: it reflects the medium of Instagram while also enabling the audience to observe, detect, and perceive themselves vis-à-vis what they are not. The simple, repetitive, stylistic attributes of cartooning prompt the viewer's imagination and encourage political meaning production. Here, I contend that it is exactly in this simplicity that the comics ascend from solely being the medium of political protest to the message itself.

"Though long associated with a small group of coffeehouse elites around the turn of the twentieth century, Viennese 'modernist' culture had roots that reached much further back and beyond the rarefied sphere of high culture. In Comical Modernity, Heidi Hakkarainen looks at Vienna in the second half of the nineteenth century, a period of dramatic urban renewal during which the city's rapidly changing face was a mainstay of humorous magazines, books, and other publications aimed at middle-class audiences. As she shows, humor provided a widely accessible means of negotiating an era of radical change"--
