İthaki Yayınları The Cultural History of Humor – from Ancient Times to the Present

Product description

Humor is one of the oldest and strongest forms of storytelling in mankind

an element that transcends boundaries, unites societies and reflects the spirit of the era

a thinking practice that makes one sweat with intelligence.

so, what do the smiles of the past tell us? This work shows that comedy is not just a means of entertainment, but also how it shapes social structures, power relations and cultural transformations.

This book, which traces humor across a wide range from sophisticated wit in ancient greece, to stage performances in rome, the prank culture of renaissance italy, to humorous paintings of the golden age of the netherlands, examines the social contexts in which laughter has been shaped throughout history.

from bakhtin's concept of laughter to anthropologists' study of jokes and social relations, he presents an innovative narrative.

this book invites us to rethink the place of humor in our individual and collective memory, while also exploring the subtleties of social norms, conflicts and solidarity.
