Abstract:
|
In this paper, I conduct a cultural discourse analysis of the communication within and surrounding the Canadian political satire, Talking to Americans. My data is derived from over six years of episodes and seven depth interviews with Candians living in the U.S. and Americans living in Canada. Drawing largely from the works of Donal Carbaugh and Gerry Philipsen, I apply the concepts of terms for talk, dueling structures, and critical voice to my data. I argue that the categories for organizing the discourse and the terms for talk provided by my interviewees give new life to Talking to Americans as not only a popular political satire but also as a metonyn for Canadian humor and identity. |

| Talking to Americans: Cultural and Comical Canadian Discourse I. Introduction It all began with a seemingly innocent article in the Boston Globe. I was sitting in work one day leafing through the paper when an article caught my eye. It was titled: Canadian Puts the Joke on US and it detailed the surge of popularity surrounding the Canadian political satire Talking to Americans. I don’t recall ever being as intrigued and amused by a newspaper article as I was |
