This volume sets out to discuss a crucial question for ancient comedy – what makes Aristophanes funny? Too often Aristophanes' humour is taken for granted as merely a tool for the delivery of political and social commentary. But Greek Old Comedy was above all else designed to amuse people, to win the dramatic competition by making the audience laugh the hardest. Any discussion of Aristophanes therefore needs to take into account the ways in which his humour actually works. This question is addressed in two ways. The first half of the volume offers an in-depth discussion of humour theory – a field heretofore largely overlooked by classicists and Aristophanists – examining various theoretical models within the specific context of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays. In the second half, contributors explore Aristophanic humour more practically, examining how specific linguistic techniques and performative choices affect the reception of humour, and exploring the range of subjects Aristophanes tackles as vectors for his comedy. A focus on performance shapes the narrative, since humour lives or dies on the stage – it is never wholly comprehensible on the page alone.

Seminar paper from the year 2000 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, grade: 1,0 (A), European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Cultural Studies department), course: Humour in Literature – From Sermon to Cabaret, language: English, abstract: Die vorliegende Abschlussarbeit arbeitet mit Bergsons und Freuds Theorien über den Humor, um Mark Twains humorvolle Erzählung "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" zu analyisieren. Es wird offensichtlich, dass man Bergsons Theorie über die Komik, welche ihm zur Folge z.B. aus der Mechanisierung des Lebens resultiert, und auch Freuds Theorien unbewusste Mechanismen betreffend, in der Erzählung wieder findet. Somit erweist sich der Humor der Erzählung als auf lustigen Stereotypisierungen, wie sie in den Figuren Smiley und Wheeler zu finden sind, basiert. Twain spielt mit Gefühlen von Überlegenheit, mit Erwartungen, Situationskomik, mit den Möglichkeiten, Lachen aufgrund von Mitleid zu erzeugen, mit Übertreibung, Wiederholung, Parallelismus, fehlender Übereinstimmung oder Satire. Wie ebenfalls deutlich wird, bieten sich oft schon verschiedene Möglichkeiten der Interpretation dessen, was als “lustig” betrachtet wird, wenn man nur zwei Humortheoretiker zur Untersuchung heranzieht. Konsequenter Weise könnten moderne Humortheoretiker wahrscheinlich weitere Möglichkeiten der Interpretation aufzeigen. Das war nicht Ziel dieser Arbeit, würde jedoch zukünftig weiteren Analyseraum bieten.

The history of ideas provides an important means of understanding and reinterpreting the literature of the past; and in this study Dr. Calder demonstrates the illumination that this informed approach brings to the comedies of MoliFre. In the course of this study, the author outlines a fresh theory of classical comedy which applies to the works of other French writers of the 17th century; and the historical reinterpretations of MoliFre's two most difficult plays -- Le Tartuffe and Dom Juan -- break entirely new ground.Although this is a work which specialists will admire, it is also intended to serve as an introduction to MoliFre and French classical comedy at large and will be of considerable value to younger students and readers of MoliFre in general.

First published in 1939, the original blurb reads: We have learned much lately concerning theories of laughter, yet laughter is only what we do about comedy. What is comedy itself? In this work the history of comic instances is combed in the search for the truth about comedy. Today, when laughter is stifled in so many countries, an exposition of comedy shows it to have a universal and necessary character. Comedy, as its natures reveals, is one criterion of the state of human culture; it is highly contemporary and requires freedom – but freedom for adventure, not for routine. After a chapter devoted to the explanation of a logical theory of comedy, the modern comedians are examined, and the humour of every one, from the Marx Brothers to surrealism, from Gertrude Stein to Mickey Mouse, from James Joyce to Charlie Chaplin, is shown to be a constant, inherent in the same set of unchanging conditions.

Women and Comedy: History, Theory, Practice presents the most current international scholarship on the complexity and subversive potential of women’s comedic speech, literature, and performance. Earlier comedy theorists such as Freud and Bergson did not envision women as either the agents or audiences of comedy, only as its targets. Only more recently have scholarly studies of comedy begun to recognize and historicize women’s contributions to—and political uses of—comedy. The essays collected here demonstrate the breadth of current scholarship on gender and comedy, spanning centuries of literature and a diversity of methodologies. Through a reconsideration of literary, theatrical, and mass media texts from the Classical period to the present, Women and Comedy: History, Theory, Practice responds to the historical marginalization and/or trivialization of both women and comedy. The essays collected in this volume assert the importance of recognizing the role of women and comedy in order to understand these texts, their historical contexts, and their possibilities and limits as models for social engagement. In the spirit of comedy itself, these analyses allow for opportunities to challenge and reevaluate the theoretical approaches themselves.
