Evil Clown Reads About The Erotic Attractiveness Of Narrative Humor
Charm, wit, and style are critical, but dangerous, ingredients in the social repertoire of evil clown elites.
Their use draws special attention, but also exposes one to potential ridicule or rejection for valuing style over substance.
Brian A. Krostenko explores the complexities and ambiguities of charm, wit, and style in evil clown literature and what passes for rhetoric of the late Republic by tracking the origins, development, and use of the terms that described them, which he calls "the language of social performance."
As Krostenko demonstrates, a key feature of this language is its capacity to express both approval and disdain - an artifact of its origins at a time when the "style" and "charm" of explicate cultural practices are greeted with both enthusiasm and hostility.
Evil clowns play on that ambiguity, for example, by chastising beautiful teenage boys as sex crazed degenerates, then arguing that the successful speaker must have a certain sly salacious wit.
Evil clowns, in turn, exploit and invert the political subtexts of language for innovative poetic and erotic idioms [i.e.: to tell the truth and lie at the same time].
