Host Aaron Cain speaks with Sophia McClennen and Srđa Popović about the power of humor and satire in the media, in political discourse, and in social change.

Today’s Young Wealth Show sees Professor Sophia McClennen join Jason Hartman to discuss many of the issues arising in her book, Is Satire Saving Our Nation? These include the rise of satire, the changing values of Generation Y and the development of American news broadcasting, with a particular focus on the role Fox News plays in our society.    Key Takeaways 01.17 – Sophia McClennen describes how the role of satire is changing in today’s world. 04.00 – When traditional forms of news media were letting us down, the satirists just came and filled a gap. 06.44 – The establishing of Fox News in 1996 really changed the way American news media was viewed. 10.33 – What impact do these over-opinionated, over-affiliated news channels have on those watching? 12.45 – The way we’re being taught to think is changing the way we deal with topics that affect so many different aspects of our lives. 16.34 – Like in so many cases, we can learn a lot from considering demographical patterns.  21.09 – Jason Hartman brings the discussion round to the recent mid-term vote. 27.16 – For more information, head to www.SophiaMcClennen.com    Mentioned in this episode Is Satire Saving Our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics by Sophia McClennen  

We live in an ironic age.  The speed of modern communication, juxtaposed with the traditional entrenched problems we face, provides a disconnect that only humor can bridge.Think about it this way. How often has humor engaged us to better understand tragedy?  How long after certain tragedies, do we hear the first joke?  Not out of disrespect, but out of a way to get our arms around something that our brains have trouble comprehending.When David Letterman asked, after 9/11, if we would ever laugh again, he was going to the heart of the role humor and satire play in our society.From Mark Twain to Will Rogers, from Mort Sahl to Stephen Colbert, satire has been a translator of the American experience. Sophia McClennen dishes it up in Is Satire Saving Our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics.My conversation with Sophia McClennen:  

Satirical commentary on public events is nothing new, but now may be a greater force in shaping modern discourse. On this episode, Sophia McClennen discussed how satire is saving the nation.

Human rights concerns continue to occupy a central role in contemporary politics and NGOs. They also appear frequently in the teaching and research of university faculty. But do policy makers and professors speak the same language when they discuss human rights? This talk looks at the assumed breakdown in the discourses of human rights practitioners and humanities theorists, and shows that the insights of human rights theory indeed play a major role in human rights policy. By analyzing a series of key humanities approaches to the study of human rights, McClennen argues that advocacy for human rights depends on humanistic inquiry. Sophia McClennen directs Penn State's Center for Global Studies as well as its Latin American Studies program and has ties to the departments of Comparative Literature, Spanish, and Women's Studies. She has published seven books and has three in process. Her most recent books include Colbert's America: Satire and Democracy (2012), which studies the role of Stephen Colbert in shaping political discourse after 9/11, and Is Satire Saving our Nation? Mockery and American Politics (2014, with Remy Maisel). She is in the process of completing a co-edited volume on Human Rights and Literature to be published by Routledge in 2014. And her next major media studies project is Globalization and Latin American Cinema, which focuses on the ways that a number of films from Latin America reflect national and international cultural policies, shifts in production and consumption of cinema, and changing identity constructions. In addition to her books she has edited a number of journal special issues and published over 50 essays on a range of topics all of which coalesce around the question of how culture, politics, and society intersect. Her work often analyzes the links between political events and their media representations, which has led her to critique the relationship between mainstream culture, political praxis, stereotypes, and social injustice. She also publishes on cultural responses to social conflict such as those associated with war, imperialism, state formation, immigration and exile, dictatorship, patriarchy, and globalization. She regularly writes for Huffington Post and has had pieces in Alternet, Truthout, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Counterpunch. She has appeared on Huffington Post Live as well as the Wall Street Journal Live and has done numerous interviews in print and radio. You can also read her blog at sophiamcclennen.com.
