Abstract

Cet ouvrage rassemble, selon un ordre strictement chronologique, cinquante-six articles écrits par Nicole Loraux entre 1973 et 2003. Il donne à lire le déploiement discontinu, expérimental, de réflexions lisibles sur le même plan que celui des livres publiés, et l’effet d’après-coup de ces derniers, leur reprise sur d’autres plans — toutes ces lignes dessinant ensemble la vaste cartographie d’une œuvre très singulière. L’article "La Grèce hors d’elle et autres textes", qui donne son titre à ce recueil, rappelle la méthode par laquelle Nicole Loraux n’a pas cessé, selon ses propres mots, de "trouver dans la Grèce (et en abondance) de quoi la faire sortir d’elle-même" en multipliant les stratégies comparatistes, les va-et-vient entre les champs disciplinaires les plus divers (philosophie, psychanalyse, ethnologie, philologie). Il en résulte un parcours intellectuel où apparaît, dominante et continue, l’analyse du discours que la cité athénienne a construit à son propre sujet en même temps que s’approfondit l’éclairage du conflit (stasis) constitutif de la démocratie. Enfin, l’attention toujours plus soutenue à "l’opérateur féminin", compris comme facteur de subversion de l’ordre politique de la cité, dominé par le masculin, suscite une approche originale et novatrice de la tragédie. Nicole Loraux découvre la dimension "antipolitique" de l’espace tragique, qui permet aux voix exclues de la parole civique de se faire entendre.

Abstract

La risa en la literatura mexicana (apuntes de poética) es una propuesta de relectura de la tradición literaria mexicana que, a contracorriente de la crítica empeñada en ver sólo el lado melancólico y trágico en el perfil de la cultura mexicana, busca develar las formas en las que la risa ha sido la fuerza organizadora de géneros y obras fundamentales. En este estudio se explora la vida de lo satírico, lo grotesco, lo lúdico para comprender de una manera renovada los diálogos y pugnas entre distintos proyectos estéticos que han convivido en México.

Abstract

Fascinerende beschouwingen over een onderwerp dat ten onrechte in de geschiedschrijving veel te weinig aandacht krijgt. Verhelderend en vaak nog grappig ook. Zelfs grappen hebben hun geschiedenis en zijn een afspiegeling van hun cultuur. In iedere samenleving en in iedere periode worden andere moppen verteld, er wordt steeds om andere zaken gelachen, en kerk en staat bestrijden humor steeds weer anders. Al die vormen van humor bieden een waardevol inzicht in het dagelijks leven, in de talrijke manieren waarop mensen zichzelf en anderen ervaren. Een verzameling belangwekkende, en uiterst onderhoudende studies voor cultuur-historisch geïnteresseerden.

Abstract

Elliott Oring asks essential questions concerning humorous expression in contemporary society, examining how humour works, why it is employed, and what its messages might be. This provocative book is filled with examples of jokes and riddles that reveal humour to be a meaningful - even significant - form of expression. Oring provides alternate ways of thinking about humorous expressions by examining their contexts - not just their contents. "Engaging Humor" demonstrates that when analyzed contextually and comparatively, humorous expressions emerge as communications that are startling, intriguing, and profound.

Abstract

The book is intended to provide a definitive view of the field of humor research for both beginning and established scholars in a variety of fields who are developing an interest in humor and need to familiarize themselves with the available body of knowledge. Each chapter of the book is devoted to an important aspect of humor research or to a disciplinary approach to the field, and each is written by the leading expert or emerging scholar in that area. There are two primary motivations for the book. The positive one is to collect and summarize the impressive body of knowledge accumulated in humor research in and around Humor: The International Journal of Humor Research. The negative motivation is to prevent the embarrassment to and from the "first-timers," often established experts in their own field, who venture into humor research without any notion that there already exists a body of knowledge they need to acquire before publishing anything on the subject-unless they are in the business of reinventing the wheel and have serious doubts about its being round! The organization of the book reflects the main groups of scholars participating in the increasingly popular and high-powered humor research movement throughout the world, an 800 to 1,000-strong contingent, and growing. The chapters are organized along the same lines: History, Research Issues, Main Directions, Current Situation, Possible Future, Bibliography-and use the authors' definitive credentials not to promote an individual view, but rather to give the reader a good comprehensive and condensed view of the area.
