Abstract:

The essay is a theoretical analysis on genre, based on André Breton's views on black humor. Breton is believed to be the person who is the mind behind the term "black humor", but his views on black humour have not – as far as I’m concerned – been applied in a film-scientific context. There is no cohesive view of the genre concept, as reflected in four selected genre theorists' texts that I selected. Texts that also have been published in various decades. The disposition for my essay is to begin by clarifying the definition of “black humour” by Breton and then highlight the key ideas of Leo Bra

It is a compilation of nine novels imprint with black humor. This creative work tends to demonstrate that daily routine is a source of black humor and that reality is nothing but the perception that everyone makes of it.<br>"Les lits clos" will be preceded by a critical study which intends to explain what is black humor by following Andre Breton, founder of that term.

Abstract:

In this paper, we will see how humor, especially black humor, influences some segments of our society; we will be reading about the history of humor and discussing its three main theories: the Superiority Theory, the Relief Theory and the Incongruity Theory. These theories shaped the way in which we now see and perceive humor, e.g. as something that we enjoy, because it makes us both relax (Relief Theory), and laugh, because in 99% of the cases the joke starts in a way and then takes an unexpected turn that results in us laughing (Incongruity Theory). We also talk about what black humor is, i

O periódico circulou no Rio de Janeiro entre 1860 e 1876 e é pioneiro no que se refere ao uso de imagens na imprensa. As novas tecnologias, associadas à demanda por imagens, incitaram o surgimento e posterior consolidação da imprensa ilustrada. A invenção e a popularização da fotografia evidenciavam uma sociedade ávida por imagens e que estava em pleno processo de transformação e elaboração de uma educação visual

A presente dissertação examina as diferentes modalidades de violência encontradas em três peças do dramaturgo irlandês Martin McDonagh: The Beauty Queen of Leenane (1996), The Lieutenant of Inishmore (2001) e The Pillowman (2003). Observa-se que o escritor trabalha o tema da violência de forma constante e recorrente, embora o tratamento de tal tema possua variações e diferenças de uma peça para outra. Busca-se provar, por meio de análise crítica, que os escritos de McDonagh não são uma censura à sociedade irlandesa, como sugerido em diversos trabalhos acadêmicos; suas peças são, na realidade,

Set up as a visual investigation, the research explores how the addition of paint and graphite materials onto the surface of found and discarded photographs, creates a visual and conceptual disjuncture by punctuating and altering the temporal frame of the photograph. The research is positioned in relation to Susan Sontag’s description in On Photography (1977) as to how the photograph can at once “transfix” and “anesthetize” the subject matter, which through the passage of time serves to create an “aesthetic distance,” and Roland Barthes’ observation in Camera Lucida (1980) that the photograph

With the invention of photography and the camera, people have been given the possibility to immortalize moments in time that evoke incongruities in everyday life and document photographic jokes laughing in the face of death or ridiculing a certain class of people or race. Therefore, the camera has served as a means for different types of laughter not always with the subject as the humourist but the photographer himself.

ENG: The doctoral thesis presents the role of anti-essentialist humor in the satire of the New Black Renaissance (NBR) – i.e., a reflourishment of African-American culture of the first two decades of the new millennium.

This change has been noted in popular literature, e.g., in Baratunde Thurston’s satirical book How to Be Black (2012).
