[Commlist] Fwd: New Book: Women Comedians in the Digital Age

Alex Symons is pleased to announce my new book for those interested in 
digital media/cultural industries/celebrity/gender/comedy:

*/Women Comedians in the Digital Age: /**/Media Work and Critical 
Reputations After Trump/* (Routledge, 2023).

This book examines the extensive digital media use by 100 women 
comedians in the US, with case studies on high profile stars like Amy 
Schumer and Lilly Singh, through to upcoming comedians like Esther 
Povitsky and Ms. Pat. It explains the many ways women comedians work 
today on TikTok, YouTube, video podcasting, Twitter, Instagram and 
Netflix, to perform jokes, engage with fans, remake their reputations, 
and become political activists. Despite its many adverse effects 
(amplifying neoliberal working conditions and denying many women the 
transition to careers in television), "digital work" is empowering women 
to be creative in comedy and negotiate the political climate incited by 
former President Donald. J. Trump.
