>From Benjamin Franklin's clever satire to Stephen Colbert's parodic
punditry, from *The Masses's *devastating cartoons to Gary Trudeau's  *
Doonesbury*: humor has played a vital, yet often unexamined role in American
politics. This panel seeks papers that examine both humor as political
discourse and rhetoric and the effects of humor on politics. We welcome
proposals from a variety of perspectives historical, theoretical, or
otherwise. Proposals should be no more than 300 words and include a short
bibliography.



*2) Ethnic Humor:  Pleasures and Problems*

About any aspect of ethnic humor.



*3) Roundtable: Humor Studies and Cultural Studies*

cultural studies as fields of discourse.  Each scholar will speak for 5-8
minutes, then discuss with the audience.  Focus of individual remarks are
open to interpretation.
