Avec l'avènement de la démocratie, le rire apparaît comme un bien commun, partagé par tous et irriguant la totalité de l'espace public. Ce rire démocratique prend aussi appui sur la puissance de propagation et d'innovation des nouvelles industries médiatiques, qui acquièrent un poids économique et une force de frappe incomparables : acteur majeur de notre culture moderne du loisir et du divertissement, le rire s'est imposé à tous et constitue aujourd'hui l'un des moteurs de la société marchande et du consumérisme. Mais le rire répond aussi à un besoin anthropologique plus large : il soulage face aux angoisses de l'existence, et permet d'expérimenter le plaisir de la connivence sociale et celui de la fantaisie imaginative. Pour lui restituer toute sa richesse, cet ouvrage a choisi de multiplier les angles d'approche, en proposant à la fois une histoire culturelle du rire, une description de ses formes et des techniques utilisées, une réflexion théorique sur ses usages dans l'espace social. Tous les aspects du rire y sont envisagés de façon transdisciplinaire : des catégories du risible aux cibles du rire, de l'esthétique du rire à son usage au service des idéologies - à travers les beaux-arts, la littérature, la caricature, les arts de la scène, la télévision et les médias, la publicité, internet. Dans cette encyclopédie stéréoscopique du rire, abondamment illustrée, on aura encore plaisir à retrouver, au fil des pages et des images, toutes les grandes figures de l'humour depuis près de deux siècles. Il s'agira donc de prendre au sérieux la culture du rire, et de mesurer le rôle capital qu'elle a pu jouer dans l'histoire de notre modernité.

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.

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.

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.

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.
