TY - JOUR AU - Wünsch, Michaela PY - 2016/01/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Comedy, Repetition and Racial Stereotypes on Television JF - Cinergie – Il Cinema e le altre Arti JA - Cinergie VL - 5 IS - 9 SE - Under Analysis DO - 10.6092/issn.2280-9481/6879 UR - https://cinergie.unibo.it/article/view/6879 SP - 103-116 AB - The article explores the affinity of comedy for repetition, analyzing particularly the sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm (Creator: Larry David, HBO 2000-2011), a comedy series on the life of the co-creator and writer of Seinfeld, Larry David, who plays himself. Sitcoms in general have been assessed as a conservative form of television in regard to its repetitive form, its contents, and stereotypes. Through an analysis of Curb, I will reevaluate this appraisal in regard to racial and especially to anti-Semitic stereotypes. ER -
