Chico and the man

On the road from the Guatemalan border to Tapachula I was asked by a Mexican taxi-driver what language they spoke in England. The answer, of course, is prehispanicized North-American, or dissipator-reprocessed neo-English techno-capital machine code: the language in which the writings of Deleuze & Guattari now function. English and French culture are polarizing upon a schizo-paranoid axis, with the former melting into the crack and computer heated deterritorialized mediascape, and the latter retreating into immuno-panic and protection. As the Maghreb explodes, French will doubtless decorate civilisational collapse, but laissez-faire has left home, and as far as second languages are concerned it’s time to learn Cantonese.

Do we in our time have an answer to the question of what we really mean by the word ‘comedy’? Not at all. So it is fitting that we should raise anew the question of the meaning of comedy. But are we nowadays even perplexed at our inability to understand the expression ‘Comedy’? Not at all. So first of all we must reawaken an understanding for the meaning of this question. Our aim in the following hour is to work out the question of the meaning of Comedy and to do so concretely. Our provisional aim is the Interpretation of the output of Steve Coogan from 1991 to 1997 as the possible horizon for any understanding whatsoever of Comedy. Dick can do the voice.
