Comedy in Children's Texts - LIT860
By focusing on some of the principal types of comic effect in texts produced for children--the ludicrous and the ridiculous; carnivalesque, iconoclasm and parody; zanyism; comic violence; transgressiveness--this unit examines how texts teach, reproduce and reflect notions of the comic, and construct social functions for the comic.
