Abstract
Popular comedy in the United States has been rapidly changing in the last ten years. Because of the diversification of consumption of television and film content, popular comedy has seen a significant rise in terms of the number of popular comedians who encompass various formats of content creation. At the same time, the public discourse of social justice is largely conditioned by identity politics. This thesis argues that there are specific changes to be observed in popular comedy which... More reflect the ways the discourse on social justice is organized affectively, posing the political recognition of an identity as the object of desire. It is argued that the increased focus on both male and female comedians constructs them as conscious political actors who contribute to progress of social justice depending on how they incorporate gender representation to their material. The thesis provides the analysis of both the official material in popular comedy as well as media narratives surrounding them with an emphasize on the discourse of gender equality. Drawing from theories of social justice, affect and gender representation, it is argued that both comedian's material and the comedian him/herself function as repositories of created attachments to constructs of social justice.

Abstract (croatian)
Američka popularna komedija se značajno izmijenila u posljednjih deset godina. Zahvaljući diverzifikaciji načina konzumiranja televizijskog i filmskog sadržaja, porastao je broj iznimno popularnih komičara koji nastupaju u gotovo svim popularnim formatima sadržaja. Istovremeno, javni diskurs o društvenoj pravdi je u velikoj mjeri određen politikama identiteta. U radu se nastoji ukazati na načine stvaranja i konzumiranja komičnog sadržaja koji ukazuju na afektivnu organizaciju diskursa... More društvene pravde tako sto se političko legitimiranje identiteta konstrurira kao objekt žudnje. Rad predlaže kako je razlog sve većoj medijskoj pozornosti na komičara/komičarku rezultat težnje da ih se konsturira kao aktivne političke aktere koji, ovisno o reprezentaciji identitetskih grupa u svojem materijalu, doprinose razvoju društvene pravde. Analizira se upravo takav materijal kao i njegova medijska popraćenost, s naglaskom na diskurs rodne jednakosti. Oslanjajući se na teorije društvene pravde, afekta, reprezentacija roda i druge, rad nastoji objasniti kako se popularni komičari/komičarke i njihov rad mogu razumjeti kao "spremnici" afektivno stvorenih odnosa privrženosti za ideje društvene pravde.
