This volume analyzes the ambivalence of comic representations of disability in fictional texts, films and stage performances, as well as the ambivalence of reception. It seeks to describe precisely what kind of comicality is used and what "communities of laughter" are created as a result: under what conditions does comedy turn into violence and cruelty, and liberating distancing into stigmatization and exclusion?
