Short and informative but incredibly dry and not very engaging book about the very concept of humor. Very intellectual but not an easy read. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Humour has been discovered in every known human culture and thinkers have discussed it for over two thousand years. Humour can serve many functions; it can be used to relieve stress, to promote amity among strangers, to dissipate tension within a fractious group, to display intelligence, andsome have even claimed that it improves health and fights sickness.In this Very Short Introduction Noel Carroll examines the leading theories of humour including "The Superiority Theory" and "The Incongruity Theory". He considers the relation of humour to emotion and cognition, and explores the value of humour, specifically in its social functions. He argues thathumour, and the comic amusement that follows it, has a crucial role to play in the construction of communities, but he also demonstrates that the social aspect of humour raises questions such as "When is humour immoral?" and "Is laughing at immoral humour itself immoral?".
