Abstract:

Black humor in Władysław Szlengel works, with particular focus on Mała stacja Treblinki (A small station called Treblinki) Władysław Szlengel (1914–1943), was a Jewish poet writing in Polish. His works are the best example of the use of black humor in Polish poetry of World War II. War caused him to change his worldview, which is reflected in the change of humor in his works. The shift was so powerful that in fact Szlengel-commentator replaced Szlengel-satirist. He did not hesitate to use the sharpest irony both against his enemies and against other victims of the system.

Abstract:

Abstract In Unani medicine, melancholic humor, called Sawdā (black bile), is one of the four key humors that regulate both physical and mental health. Each humor corresponds to a particular temperament and physiological role, with imbalances potentially leading to illness. Sauda is associated with a cold and dry temperament and plays a vital role in maintaining metabolic processes and emotional stability within the body. The humoral theory is one of the basic concepts of the Unani system of medicine. Akhlāṭ (humors) is “Admixture” which refers to body fluids. The body contains four major humor

Extant research considers humor integral to the Black experience.

Abstract This paper explores sort humor ‘black humor’, a key concept in Danish conversational humor. Sort forms part of a larger class of Danish synesthetic humor metaphors that includes other categories such as tør ‘dry’, syg ‘sick’, and fed ‘fat’. Taking an ethnopragmatic perspective on humor discourse, it is argued that such constructs function as a local catalogue for socially recognized laughing practices. The aim of the paper is to provide a semantic explication for sort humor and explore the discursive practices associated with the concept. From a comparative perspective, it is demonstr

An oeuvre as redolent with the spirit of satire and humor as Percival Everett’s can be said to represent, at the same time, an anthology of humorous devices—a “humorology,” so to speak—and a self-reflexive meditation on the existential, philosophical and/or metaphysical implications of such an attitude to language and life. The Trees (2021) is a book about lynching, in which a series of gruesome murders all allude to the martyrdom of Emmett Till. Even though such subject matter seems antinomic to humor, the novel is rife with it. We propose an examination of the various guises of humor in this

Abstract:

Humor is essential in maintaining the balance of human life socially and psychologically. Each culture in the world, including Islamic culture, perceives humor differently. Furthermore, from an academic perspective, humor can be constructed using linguistic features. Therefore, this study aims to examine verbal humor construction using linguistics features and evaluate how verbal humor is perceived by different cultures, particularly popular British and Islamic cultures. British popular culture is directed more toward the liberal culture, which is often opposed to the Islamic culture, which is

Abstract:

Joseph Heller was a significant writer who played an important role in the literary process of the United States in the second half of the 20th century. His novel Something Happened presents a remarkable example of black humor in American literature by addressing socio-political and socio-psychological issues against the backdrop of the tense events of its time. Due to the novel’s prolonged writing process—spanning over a decade—it was influenced by major political developments in the country and the world, particularly the Vietnam War (1955–1975). The novel elevates a typical representative o

Abstract:

Abstract What is the relationship among Blackness, whiteness, and laughter? For Ralph Ellison, race is at the heart of “the American joke”; his phrase suggests that humor is somehow fundamental to the American story. It is certainly fundamental to his novel, Invisible Man (1952). While much scholarship has addressed the novel’s humor—how it makes readers laugh—the laughter of characters has been underexplored. From start to finish, the narrative is punctuated with scenes of laughter, which crop up at every major turning point in the unnamed narrator’s journey. While he encounters laughter that

Abstract:

This article analyzes the film of the russian film director A.Yu. German «Khrustalev, the car!», 1998. Events in the cinema take place in 1953 — the end of the Stalin era. Historically, this period is considered difficult, a turning point, filled with many dramatic moments. However, a sense of humor has always accompanied a person, encouraged him and made it possible to look at the situation differently. In this study, the comic is singled out from a dramatic work of art. In the movie «Khrustalev, the car!» the aesthetic category of the comic is manifested through extraordinary characters, thr
