Abstract:
ABSTRACT This article explores how Fran Ross’s 1974 novel Oreo uses humor to challenge static notions of Black, Jewish, and American identity. Through her mock heroic quest, Oreo’s eponymous protagonist develops WIT (“Way of the Interstitial Thrust”), a system of self-defense that draws on her multifaceted identity as a Jewish, African American woman and that she uses to successfully navigate spaces that threaten her with physical violence and symbolic erasure. In its hilarious exploration of the complexity and commodification of identity in the late twentieth century United States, Oreo provi

AbstractThe present study investigates the relationships of eight comic styles (fun, benevolent humor, nonsense, wit, irony, satire, sarcasm, and cynicism) with acceptability of prejudice (laughing at different groups and topics), humorous self-image (funniness and frequency of laughter), humor appreciation (funniness and aversiveness of cartoons with different structures and contents), and happiness. A representative Chilean adult sample (N=857, 60.8% women; age M=40.50, SD=17.28) was recruited in face-to-face interviews and online surveys. They completed self-reports of all variables as well

Abstract:
Interrogations of diasporic relations between place, subjectivity, and sexuality have transformed representational practices and paradigms of both Cuban and Cuban-American identity on multiple fronts. Through a consideration of two texts representing the Cuban diaspora-Achy Obejas's 1996 novel Memory Mambo and Carmelita Tropicana's performance piece “Milk of amnesia/Leche de amnesia”, first developed in 1994–I explore the centrality of sexuality in constructions of self, community, and nation.

Abstract:
Abstract By reading antebellum-era jokes about Cuba in conversation with Judith Yaross Lee's argument that imperialism has persistently shaped American humor, this essay considers how US humorists located pleasure in the nation's fraught foreign relations. Examining a variety of comics, anecdotes, and malapropisms from Yankee Notions demonstrates how this popular, long-running magazine mocked US Americans’ efforts to assert their cosmopolitan knowledge of Cuba while nonetheless naturalizing US global power. Together, such jokes participated in a larger cultural project that shaped late ninetee

While mixing languages in natural speech production has often been inaccurately ascribed to illiteracy or lack of linguistic competence, doing so in writing is a long-standing practice in bilingual literature. This practice may fulfill stylistic or aesthetic purposes, be a source of credibility and/or communicate biculturalism, humor, criticism, and ethnicity, among other functions. Here, I analyze a selection of contemporary Spanish–English bilingual literature (poetry, drama, and fiction) written by Mexican American, Nuyorican, and Cuban American authors focusing on the types, and significan

The purpose of this article is to analyze selected poetic works of Billy Collins (1941- ), the most popular American poet in the present time, to show a clear line of moral humanitarian preaching that runs under the surface of his often humorous and entertaining poems. The topics discussed in this article include manners, respecting privacy, personal responsibility, self-acceptance, practical living advice, gratitude for life and finding meaning in death. The poems analyzed in this study address a wide range of human issues that are relatable in a global sense. The way Collins delivers these u

Abstract:
The Pursuit of Happyness is a famous movie directed in 2006 about the life struggle of Chris Gardner. This paper would analyse an excerpt of The Pursuit of Happyness to explore how (im)politeness characterizes Chris Gardner with Brown and Levinson’s politeness model and Culpeper’s impoliteness model. The excerpt is the scene when Chris has just left the prison to attend the interview for a broker internship. This paper argues that impoliteness reflects Chris’s underprivileged background while the use of politeness characterizes honesty, respect, confidence, humor, and wit. Despite his inherent

Настоящая статья посвящена исследованию особенностей функционирования каламбуров в сказках американского писателя Нортона Джастера. Вопросам использования этих средств выразительности в произведениях различных авторов посвящены работы как российских, так и зарубежных лингвистов. Каламбуры являются не только мощным юмористическим средством, но и эффективным инструментом коммуникации. Они могут использоваться для привлечения внимания и создания запоминающихся образов в рекламе и маркетинге. Кроме того, каламбуры широко употребляются в литературе и политической сатире, добавляя элементы игры слов

Abstract:
Teachers of English to speakers of other languages have often incorporated humor in the curriculum, yet a recent computer search revealed that there were no empirical studies which have shown that curricular humor enhances English language learning. The three specific questions of the thesis are: does the use of curricular humor 1) improve memory/recall, 2) improve over-all English proficiency, and 3) result in the subjects' having more positive attitudes towards Americans, and if so, does a more positive attitude correlate with improved memory/proficiency?

Abstract:
"Investing in Stereotypes" unearths a tradition of humor that may initially sound counter-intuitive: it sees stereotypes as valuable. Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Charles Wright, and Suzan-Lori Parks reveal the way racial and sexual stereotypes paradoxically complicate their subjects in the very attempt to simplify them. The compulsive repetition of stereotypes and the contradictory meanings that stereotypes embody create absurdly comical effects that are, in the hands of these writers, surprisingly humanizing.

Celebrities such as Halle Berry, Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, and Don Imus have recently evoked public ire for making what some people have seen as tasteless jokes. Their notorious humorous communication shares two notable qualities: the discourse was mass mediated and the “jokes” were all premised on stereotypes. This two-part dissertation addresses the complicated subject of understanding the meanings viewers co-create with humorous mediated communication that is premised on racial stereotypes.

Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii had come under U.S. hegemony in the 1890s as the nation was continuing to achieve its “Manifest Destiny” by expanding into the Pacific and the Caribbean.

They are presented, not as great music, nor as the American music, but as good jazz. Some are harsh, raucous and unrefined.

Abstract African American oral culture is rich in tales that use humor to represent the violence of slavery. The trickster animal tales featuring Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, first popularized by Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus, His Songs and Sayings: The Folklore of the Old Plantation (1880), are but one, albeit complicated, example. The tales, in which weaker animals like the Rabbit often outsmart stronger ones such as the Fox through wit and cunning, allegorize the great imbalance of power between master and slave and the ways that the enslaved found to sabotage it.
