Description

Explore the complex social structures behind comedy with Japanese Humour, part of the St Antony's Series by MACMILLAN. This is not a collection of jokes, but an academic study of how societies establish boundaries for laughter. It examines the specific rules that define what constitutes humor, what is considered permissible, and what remains forbidden within a culture. This book provides a framework for understanding the social mechanics of comedy. It looks at how rules regarding humor are formed and how these standards impact communication patterns. By studying these regulations, readers gain insight into how they influence the development of both humor and comedy in a societal context. It is a deep look into the logic behind what is deemed funny or inappropriate, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Japanese history and social communication.
