L’étude du rire méritait d’être renouvelée pour une période que Rabelais continue à dominer. Ce volume a regroupé vingt-six intervenants – littéraires, musicologues, historiens de l’art, des sciences ou de la pensée religieuse – qui offrent ici un recueil de vrais rires de toutes natures. A un moment où s’essoufflent les modèles inopérants de Bakhtine et de ses contradicteurs, il a paru plus important de saisir sur le vif, comme à l’improviste, la présence exceptionnelle du rire à tous les niveaux de l’invention, des pratiques et des comportements des hommes de la Renaissance. En partant des évidences sensibles, notamment musicales et iconographiques, en interrogeant constamment les expressions du rire et son lexique – partout, jusque dans les archives qui le condamnent –, en développant sous des angles nouveaux, la réflexion sur les auteurs et les artistes les plus attendus comme les plus anonymes (Rabelais, Montaigne, Roland de Lassus, Ronsard, Béroalde de Verville, Tabourot, Léonard de Vinci et son entourage, etc.), en soulignant également le rôle majeur des médecins-philosophes par le regard libre et profond qu’ils jettent sur ’activité de rire, le volume dégage peu à peu les nouvelles implications de l’érudition facétieuse et des pratiques de cour: tout cela intéressait encore vivement le XIXe siècle. L’omniprésence du rire suggère finalement qu’il pourrait être une activité globale, tout à la fois indépendante et nécessairement sociale, qui unit sans cesse le coeur et le corps de chaque homme dans une expérience unique d’ordre sensible, et met en jeu observation, culture et imagination. Le rire que l’on vivait naturellement à la Renaissance nous concerne pleinement aujourd’hui.

"The Dutch painter Jan Steen (1626-1679) has long enjoyed a reputation for his dissolute life, redeemed only by a keen eye for the follies of his contemporaries and an exquisite ability to capture his observations in paint. Steen's paintings of unruly households, rambunctious revels, and wily seductresses have come to define our image of the delicious and immoral excesses of the Golden Age. But rather than simply recording the illicit pleasures of Dutch burghers and peasants, Steen transformed them into ambitious genre paintings that rival the peasant epics of Bruegel the Elder and jest with the genteel idylls of Vermeer and Terborch." "By placing Steen within Dutch society and culture of the seventeenth century, Mariet Westermann shows how the contradictions and parallels between his life and his art were essential to his innovative achievements. In a detailed analysis of his career and audience, she suggests how Steen became a comic painter and why his pictures appealed to prosperous urban connoisseurs. Documented throughout with seventeenth-century jokes, poems, and plays, The Amusements of Jan Steen gives the first full account of Steen's creative relationship to comic literature and performance."--Jacket.

Using both textual and iconographic sources, this richly illustrated book examines the representations of the body in Greek Old and Middle Comedy, how it was staged, perceived, and imagined, particularly in Athens, Magna Graecia, and Sicily. The study also aims to refine knowledge of the various connections between Attic comedy and comic vases from South Italy and Sicily (the so-called 'phlyax vases'). After introducing comic texts and comedy-related vase-paintings in the regional contexts, The Comic Body in Ancient Greek Theatre and Art, 440-320 BCE considers the generic features of the comic body, characterized as it is by a specific ugliness and a constant motion. It also explores how costumes, masks, padding, phallus, clothing, accessories, and gestures contribute to the characters' visual identity in relation with speech : it analyzes the cultural, social, aesthetic, and theatrical conventions by which spectators decipher the body. This study thus leads to a re-examination of the modalities of comic mimesis, in particular when addressing sexual codes in cross-dressing scenes which reveal the artifice of the fictional body. It also sheds light on how comic poets make use of the scenic or imaginary representations of the bodies of those who are targets of political, social, or intellectual satire. There is a particular emphasis on body movements, where the book not only deals with body language and the dramatic function of comic gesture, but also with how words confer a kind of poetic and unreal motion to the body.
