Greetings:
Chaplin biographer seeks help from anthropologists for
reccomended basic reading on the archetype of the comic
trickster in popular culture in order to gain a deeper
understanding of the universal mass appeal of Chaplin's
screen character <the little tramp>. Am also interested
in material (in non-jargon) on the relationship between
tricksters and social underdogs.
For a sense of the scope of my project see:
