It explores depictions of distinctive geographical, historical and cultural communities presented from the insiders’ perspective, simultaneously interrogating the particularity of the lived experience of time, and place, embedded within the wide variety of depictions of contrasting lives, experiences and sensibilities, which the collected individual chapters offer. Comedies considered include Victoria Wood’s work on ‘the north’, Ireland’s \u003ci\u003eFather Ted \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDerry Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, Michaela Coel’s east London set \u003ci\u003eChewing Gum\u003c\/i\u003e, and Wales’ \u003ci\u003eGavin and Stacey\u003c\/i\u003e. There are chapters on Scottish sketch and animation comedy, and on series set in the Midlands, the North East, the South West and London’s home counties. The book offers thoughtful reflection on funny and engaging representations of the diverse, fragmentedcomplexity of UK and Irish identity explored through the intersections of class, ethnicity and gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-09-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031236280\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-23629-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341076656268,"sku":"9783031236280","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031236280.jpg?v=1775962139","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031236280","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
