Description

Explore the complex role of humor in human interaction with The Social Faces of Humour: Practices and Issues. Published as part of the Routledge Revivals series, this volume serves as a follow-up to Humour in Society: Resistance and Control, edited by George E.C. Paton and Chris Powell. This collection of original essays provides a deep look into how humor functions within different social contexts. Readers can examine how humor operates in specific role relationships, such as within the workplace or between family members. The text offers a critical assessment of how humor is used to manage social tensions and navigate various social settings. A significant aspect of this work is its analysis of socio-linguistic practices. The essays look at the use of specific tools like jokes and cartoons to understand how communication and social dynamics work. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the social, anthropological, or sociological impacts of humor in modern life.
