Isn't it Ironic?: Irony in Contemporary Popular Culture - Paperback

by Ian Kinane (Editor)

Bringing together studies of a range of texts, this volume addresses the relationship between irony and popular culture and the role of the consumer in determining meaning, arguing that in a cultural climate largely characterised by fractious communications, the very role of irony in popular culture needs to come under greater scrutiny.
