The End(s) of Irony: The Politics of Appropriateness. 520 Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references, mostly from contemporary culture. 520 8 Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in a museum. And the stakes are high - many radical artists and cultural activists consider irony to be usefully subversive; others see it as more suspect. After all, irony can just as easily legitimate as undermine relations of power. 650 0 Irony. 900 AUTH |bTOC 942 |2ddc |cBK 948 2 20100803 |ba |csl13 |dMPS 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6128_400000000000000_20_HUT |70 |8GEN |920492OSA |bOSA |d2013-02-26 |eOSA |l0 |o128/.4 20 HUT |r2013-02-26 |t1 |w2013-02-26 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 jeGmAlXN 992 01 128_400000000000000_20_HUT |bYXR_VZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_XZ_I56 966 |cIn the Research Room
