Description

Explore the cultural rules and social norms that govern humour in Japanese society with this analytical study from Macmillan's respected St Antony's Series. Rather than a collection of jokes, this book examines how societies establish and enforce frameworks around what constitutes acceptable humour, when it should be used, and which types are considered permissible or forbidden. It provides insight into the underlying principles that shape comedy and communication patterns across cultures, offering readers a deeper understanding of how humour functions as a social tool. This academic work is essential for anyone studying anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, or cross-cultural communication who wants to understand the intricate relationship between culture and comedy.
