This is not a book of jokes. It is about how people make rules about humour: rules about what humour is, what it is not, what it should and should not be, when it should and should not be used, what type of humour is permissible and what type forbidden, what is good and bad about humour, what should be considered funny and what should not. The book offers a framework for a general understanding of why and how societies make rules about the use of humour, and how those rules affect patterns of communication and the development of humour and comedy.

This innovative book traces the impact of tradition on modern humour across several Asian countries and their cultures. Using examples from Japan, Korea, Indonesia and Chinese cultures in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the contributors explore the different cultural rules for creating and sharing humour. Humour can be a powerful lubricant when correctly interpreted; mis-interpreted, it is likely to cause considerable setbacks. Over time, it has emerged and submerged in different periods and different forms in all these countries but today’s conventions still reflect traditional attitudes to and assumptions about what is appropriate in creating and using humour. Under close examination, Milner Davis and her colleagues show how forms and conventions that differ from those in the west can also be seen to possess elements in common. With examples including Mencian and other classical texts, Balinese traditional verbal humour, Korean and Taiwanese workplace humour, Japanese laughter ceremonies, performances and cartoons, as well as contemporary Chinese-language films and videos, they engage with a wide range of forms and traditions. This fascinating collection of studies will be of great interest to students and scholars of many Asian cultures, and also to those with a broader interest in humour studies. It highlights the increasing importance of understanding a wider range of cultural values in the present era of globalized communication and the importance of reliable studies of why and how cultures that are geographically related differ in their traditional uses of and assumptions about humour.

This dissertation discusses dark humor in postwar Japanese culture, and examines the ways in which humor was used to assuage or avoid cultural trauma. This study provides a framework for understanding normative postwar Japanese literary and mass-media humor, and clarifies the relationship between conventional and dark humor. By looking at three exemplary works of humor, one conventional, one which embraces the superficial aspects of “dark humor,” and one which wholly gives itself over to the chaos of “dark humor” as both a humor-making device and a governing structural principle, this study sheds light on the various humor practices of postwar Japanese written culture.To show how normative humor helped Japanese readers turn away from postwar trauma, this study closely analyzes the seminal four-panel comic Sazaesan. Written by Hasegawa Machiko (1920-1992)– one of Japan’s, if not the world’s, greatest female cartoonists, Sazaesan adroitly depicts the various cultural crises plaguing everyday life in postwar Japan. By consistently availing herself of inclusive punchlines, Hasegawa’s Sazaesan manages to depict conflict without engaging in it. Though she may direct readers’ attention to some specific cultural problem in the first panel, by the fourth she has turned readers towards universally human and broad punchlines. In this way, Hasegawa helped readers in the midst of their crises without undermining political and social systems which allowed these conditions to occur. In his “Lessons in Immorality,” Mishima Yukio (1925-1970) uses shocking punchlines and controversial anecdotes to advocate for an overturning of the order of things. But while Mishima adopts some of the more obvious methods of dark humor – obscenity, cruel humor, shock, and absurdity, in the end he is unable to leverage humor successfully to argue for his vision of a new Japan built with a novel, Mishima-made morality. Last, this study reads Nosaka Akiyuki’s (1930- 2015) The Pornographers as an exemplary work of dark humor. A work which uses humor to undermine contemporary Japanese society, culture, and literature, The Pornographers embraces and humorously depicts the chaos of an unmoored world. Ultimately, Nosaka successfully uses humor to depict the impotence of literature to affect change in reality, and presents a uniquely humorous and pessimistic depiction of postwar Japan.
