Description

Explore the fundamental role of comedy in human life with Taking Humour Seriously. Published by Routledge, this work examines the essential questions that drive our social interactions: When do we laugh? Why do we laugh? What defines the concept of humour itself? From everyday conversations to the comedy schedules on television, humour is a constant presence that shapes our cultural landscape. Jerry Palmer explores how these interruptions and detours of laughter are not just side notes to life, but are integral parts of any culture. This book argues that to truly understand how society functions, one must study humour with depth and seriousness. Whether you are studying film genres, media, or cultural studies, this book provides a deep look into why comedy is such a massive part of our daily existence. It offers a perspective on how laughter and pleasure are woven into the very fabric of how we communicate and consume media.
