In ancient Greek comedy, nothing is ever 'just a joke'. This book treats jokes with the seriousness they deserve, and shows that far from being mere surface-level phenomena, jokes in Greek comedy are in fact a site of poetic experimentation whose creative force expressly rivals that of serious literature. Focusing on the fragments of authors including Cratinus, Pherecrates, and Archippus alongside the extant plays of Aristophanes, Naomi Scott argues that jokes are critical to comedy's engagement with the language and convention of poetic representation. More than this, she suggests that jokes and poetry share a kind of kinship as two modes of utterance which specifically set out to flout the rules of ordinary speech. Starting with bad puns, and taking in crude slapstick, vulgar innuendo and frivolous absurdism, Jokes in Greek Comedy demonstrates that the apparently inconsequential jokes which pepper the surface of Greek comedy in fact amplify the impossible and defamiliarizing qualities of standard poetic practice, and reveal the fundamental ridiculousness of treating make-believe as a serious endeavour. In this way, jokes form a central part of Greek comedy's contestation of the role of language, and particularly poetic language, in the truthful representation of reality.

"L'humour juif, c'est d'abord l'autodérision, une arme puissante face au malheur. Poussé à l'extrême, il devient universel. Et, raison à l'appui, il en dit long sur l'absurdité de la condition humaine. Michel Wieviorka a retenu pour cet ouvrage des histoires juives bien choisies, inédites ou peu connues. Il s'intéresse à leur contenu et à leurs personnages hauts en couleur. Surtout, il les contextualise, dans leur cadre familial, social, politique, historique, pour comprendre de quoi l'humour juif est le nom. En dégageant le sens de ces histoires, ce livre apporte un éclairage original, plus général qu'il n'y paraît, sur la question juive, sur l'évolution de la diaspora et sa relation avec l'État d'Israël, sur son histoire, ses drames, mais aussi sa créativité culturelle. L'âge d'or de l'humour juif, durant la seconde moitié du ne siècle, notamment aux États-Unis et en France, a également été un âge d'or du monde juif. Son dépérissement actuel en dit long."--Page 4 of cover.

Analyses of humour often focus primarily on the Global North, with little consideration for examples and practices from elsewhere. This book provides a vital contribution to humour theory by developing a Global South perspective. Taking a wide-ranging view across the whole of the continent, the book examines the relationship between humour and politics in Africa. It considers the context of the production and reception of humour in African contexts and argues that humour is more than just symbolic. Moving beyond the idea of humour as a mode of resistance, the book investigates the 'political work' that humour does and explores the complex entanglements in which the politics, practices and performances of humour are located.

The central question explored in this volume is: How is humor multimodally produced, perceived, responded to, and negotiated? To this end, it offers a panorama of linguistic research on multimodal and interactional humor, based on different theoretical frameworks, corpora, and methodologies. Humor is considered as an activity that is interactionally achieved, regardless of whether the interaction in which it is embedded is face-to-face, computer-mediated, with a human or a robot, oral or written. The aim is to analyze both the linguistic resources of the participants (such as their lexicon, prosody, gestures, gazes, or smiles) and the semiotic resources that social networks and instant messaging platforms offer them (such as memes, gifs, or emojis).
