note = {Vituperation, disparagement, and debasement seem to have become part
of the mainstream discourse in contemporary US-American media culture.
Zooming in on a distinct televisual comedy genre, Katja Schulze
explores the formal principles, media-specific realizations, and the
cultural work of disparagement in contemporary female-led situation
comedies. Subsequently, larger patterns of (gender-based) invective
strategies and conventions that define the dynamism of this comedic
genre come into view. Her study outlines case studies of popular
sitcoms, like Parks and Recreation, Mike & Molly, and the revival
of hit-sitcom Roseanne, thereby unearthing how the shows are able to
stage humor as mass-mediated deprecation – a signifying practice
with its own poetics and politics.},
