LIMITS AND LAUGHTER The Comedy of Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman Von der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften der Universität Duisburg-Essen zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr. phil. genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Victoria Beyer aus Mülheim an der Ruhr 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Jens-Martin Gurr 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Josef Raab Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06. August 2007 1 hj Acknowledgements This study was submitted as a doctoral thesis to the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Duisburg-Essen in October 2006 and defended in August 2007. The original version has been shortened and slightly modified. After quite a few years of working on this thesis, I would like to express my gratitude to a number of people. I am aware of the contributions made by Prof. Dr. Jens-Martin Gurr who examined this thesis as my supervisor. Most of his comments were incisive and always constructive. I must also thank my co-supervisor Prof. Dr. Josef Raab for his cooperation and advice. Dr. Klaus W. Vowe (†) encouraged me to dwell upon the subject of stand-up comedy. His lectures in general and especially his seminars on biographical pictures were a source of inspiration and his great sense of humor will always be remembered. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Siegfried Jüttner.
