Description

What makes us laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time? How do these two primal, seemingly discrete and non-verbal modes of expression intersect in everyday life and ritual, and what range of emotions do they evoke? How may they be voiced, shaped and coloured in literature and liturgy, art and music? Margaret Alexiou is Professor Emerita of Modern Greek Studies and of Comparative Literature, Harvard University. Bringing together scholars from diverse periods and disciplines of Hellenic and Byzantine studies, this volume explores the shifting shapes and functions of laughter and tears, with consideration given to visual, performative and musical arts, as well as to written records.
