Deconstructing South Park : critical examinations of animated transgression
Deconstructing South Park is a collection edited by Brian Cogan that looks at the long and controversial run of one of the most subversive programs on television. The contributors reveal that, through the lens of four foul-mouthed nine-year-olds, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have created one of the most astute forms of social and political commentary in television history. Deconstructing South Park analyzes how South Park's medium of animation allows its creators to participate in conversations on disability studies, religion, sexuality, celebrity, and more. If South Park deconstructs American culture, then Cogan and his contributors deconstruct the deconstructionists and reveal South Park in all its hilarious and often contradictory complexity.
