Abstract:
Abstract The article examines the ways in which humour twists regular euphemism use. Based on the classical fields of euphemisms anchored in religion, aesthetics, social politics, and amorality, it identifies the characteristics of their twisted variants with a humorous component: playing-with-fire euphemisms that jocosely provoke supernatural forces, innuendo euphemisms that entertain, mocking euphemisms that make fun of others in a teasing or demeaning way, and idealistic euphemisms that uncover obfuscating language and negative realities.

Abstract:
The article considers black humour as an important element of postmodern culture. The term is defi ned as a variety of humour which mocks society, taboo, illness, death, and is linked with pure nonsense and the grotesque. In the article, black humor is analyzed on the example of such Polish writers as Jerzy Pilch, Krzysztof Varga, Wojciech Stamm and Paweł Goźliński, who use it as a way to express postmodern world vision as an ambiguous and dangerous labyrinth.

Abstract:
Humour is often exploited in advertising to enhance the positive image of a brand or corporate company, as well as to promote products or services. Advertisers seek the involvement of the audience via covert or overt references that, in their opinion, may trigger humour and, hypothetically, result in a positive customer response. However, using intertextual humour in advertising can sometimes be risky because, even though the ideal interlocutor is supposed to be familiar with the humorous reference the author alludes to, the latter can never be certain of whether it will be favourably received

Comedy is a male-dominated world as sociolinguistics theory also mentions that women employ less humour compared to men. However, female comedians also appeared on television.

Interestingly, numerous young female stand-up comedians also took part as participants of SUCI.

Abstract:
Today’s infotainment clutter puts pressure on advertisers to come up with more surprising and more memorable ads. This need for novelty, creativity, and astonishment does set the expectation bar high, steering ads towards various means of eliciting surprise, including humour, shock, and taboo. In this paper, the author will try to investigate a set of multimodal advertising messages which use (debatable) humour and surprise, with a view to finding trans-cultural similarities and differences in terms of ad appreciation.

This article takes up the transnational comedy career of Trevor Noah as a way to explore how the political work of racial comedy can manifest, circulate and indeed communicate differently across different racial-political contexts. Through the close textual analysis of two key comic performances –“The Daywalker” (2009) and “Son of Patricia” (2018), produced and (initially) circulated in South Africa and the USA, respectively – this article explores the extent to which Noah’s comic treatment of race has shifted between the two contexts.

Abstract:
The weekly French satirical newspaper, Charlie hebdo, which originally ran from 1969 to 1982, pending a revival in 1992, distinguishes itself through its bête et méchant ['stupid and nasty'] humorous heritage, defined in its parent publication, Hara-Kiri, as the freedom to make jokes on potentially any subject, however taboo. Whilst this satirical ethos predominated in Charlie hebdo up to 1982, its enduring place in the publication has become more ambiguous since 1992, with the abrupt sacking of Siné in July 2008 seemingly belying its vigorous defence of provocative humour in the context of th

Abstract:
Amputation is a growing health issue with implications for the corporeal form and sense of bodily identity. Disposal of the removed limb (the amputate) has historically been suggested to impact on patient adaptation to amputation, although understandings of limb disposal are scarce within existing research. The growth of online question and answer sites has created opportunities for social actors to post and respond to a vast array of topic areas, including those that are seen as morbid or taboo. This paper then explores the discussion of amputate disposal within threads from two popular quest

Abstract:
In this chapter, we wanted to examine aspects of atheist and Humanist comedy and humor, as these genres have been plagued with a superior attitude and an exclusionary nature. While criticism of religion and iconoclasm have been a hallmark of atheism and Humanism since time immemorial, the relatively new addition of condescending and belittling humor has caused rifts between believers and non-believers in recent years. We examined this trend by looking at the defining characteristics of representative humor and comedy that appear in atheist and Humanist circles and juxtaposing these with the defining characteristics of humor in general and observing what these discrepancies mean. While blasphemous and taboo humor have long been commonplace, intentionally ridiculing or belittling a group of people for the sole purpose of garnering laughs does not conform to the Humanist ideal of upholding human dignity, so this would be an important question to resolve. For the purposes of this inquiry, we decided to identify the defining features of good atheist/Humanist comedy and see how these correspond to what can be construed as ill-intentioned comedy. We also examined stereotypes and prejudices among atheists and Humanists with the express purpose of using these to establish a humoristic baseline for these cultures to identify with.

Full text
Abstract:
Elizabeth Anker situates Paul Beatty’s The Sellout in a literary tradition that enlists satire as an instrument of critique. Anker demonstrates that Beatty violates race-related taboos in order to confront readers with the avoidances that those taboos impose. Beatty’s biting humor, with its slippage between metaphor and reality, serves to disrupt the self-satisfaction and complacency that mark conventional narratives about the legacy of the Civil War and the civil rights movement in American constitutional politics. The Sellout shows us, in Anker’s view, that the tradition of written constitutionalism and its celebratory symbolism of “quill and ink” has often served instead to enable and legitimize the criminalization and disenfranchisement of African Americans. Moreover, courts have assimilated a racialized language of urban combat—including the so-called wars on poverty, drugs, and crime—that has perpetuated structural racism, reinforcing standards of decorum and good citizenship that have operated as barriers to inclusion in the liberal democratic public sphere.

Abstract:
In this chapter the explores the comedic devices and themes on display in The Far Side. First, he looks into Larson’s working methods as a comedian, charting his process from free associative brainstorming into strategies of refining and clarifying his jokes, and finally receiving critical feedback from editors. Second, using specific cartoons as examples, he analyzes the humor of Larson’s work in relation to basic theories of what makes us laugh: surprising incongruities, irreverent treatments of taboo subject matter, and comic depictions of violence or misfortune that evoke in the reader mingled emotions of sympathy and schadenfreude. He then explores a number of the comedic devices commonly used in The Far Side, considering ways that Larson modified or combined them in original ways: wordplay that literalized figurative speech or tested the logic of clichéd maxims; in medias res (in the middle of the action) vignettes that required readers to complete a narrative; cross-overs between animal and human worlds; gothic or morbid deconstructions of comforting social myths; and cheeky parodies of a variety of genres, mediums and discourses. Throughout the chapter the author periodically breaks away from close readings of Larson’s cartoons to paint in broad strokes the larger philosophical meanings circulating around The Far Side, suggesting ways that his comedy often became pointedly satiric, borrowing from the philosophical traditions of naturalism, absurdism, and the carnivalesque.
