The Humour of Homer and Other Essays Exploring the Wit of Ancient Epic: A Scholarly Look at Homer's Humorous Side【電子書籍】[ Samuel Butler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Humour of Homer and Other Essays," Samuel Butler delves into the intricacies of Homeric literature, blending astute literary analysis with a playful narrative style. Butler challenges conventional interpretations of the epic poet, presenting a fresh, often irreverent perspective that highlights the humor within the grandeur of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." His essays illuminate the cultural and historical contexts of these texts, showcasing Homer not only as a master storyteller but also as a complex figure with a deep understanding of human nature. Through sharp wit and keen insight, Butler revitalizes the study of ancient epics, encouraging readers to engage with them in a new light. Samuel Butler, an influential Victorian author known for his progressive views on evolution and morality, often sought to question established norms. His diverse intellectual pursuits, including art, literature, and philosophy, profoundly shaped his writing. This collection of essays, published in the late 19th century, reflects Butler's lifelong fascination with ancient texts and his belief in literature's power to inform and entertain. I highly recommend "The Humour of Homer and Other Essays" to both scholars and general readers alike. Butler's unique approach enriches the understanding of Homer'??s work, making these essays accessible, engaging, and essential for anyone interested in classical literature or the humorous subtleties of storytelling.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	150円

The Palgrave Handbook of Humour, History, and Methodology【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This handbook addresses the methodological problems and theoretical challenges that arise in attempting to understand and represent humour in specific historical contexts across cultural history.

It explores problems of terminology, identification, classification, subjectivity of viewpoint, and the coherence of the object of study. It addresses specific theories, together with the needs of specific historical case-studies, as well as some of the challenges of presenting historical humour to contemporary audiences through translation and curation. In this way, the handbook aims to encourage a fresh exploration of methodological problems involved in studying the various significances both of the history of humour and of humour in history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	19,447円
The Fourth Generation a personal story of humour and heartache 1885-1985【電子書籍】[ Carole McCall ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞There are no exceptions and therefore there are no choices. This book is about the choices people make: the limitations we set for ourselves and the solutions we never stand by because we feel there aren’t any. Are the rules and boundaries we set for ourselves much stronger than the rules that other people set for us? Why is our individual situation different from everybody elses? We are each unique as we are the only person in the world who has had that particular upbringing, education and life experience.

The Spectator Book of Wit, Humour and Mischief【電子書籍】[ Marcus Berkmann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Approaching its 200th birthday in the rudest of health, the ＜em＞Spectator＜/em＞ is known for the quality of its writing and the deep eccentricity of some of its writers. Given the freedom to say what they want, they take that freedom and more, and the result is original, provocative, often very funny, sometimes plain wrong.＜/p＞＜p＞From Jeffrey Bernard's reports from the Soho frontline and Auberon Waugh fulminating about hamburger gases in the early 1990s, we encounter in turn the wild stream of consciousness of Deborah Ross's restaurant reviews, the pinpoint etiquette advice of Mary Killen, Rod Liddle's frothing but elegantly sculpted outrage and the magazine's secret weapon, low life adventurer Jeremy Clarke. This bumper selection, which also includes eminent diarists, mad letter-writers and Boris Johnson, amounts to a masterclass in comic writing, lovingly compiled and edited by Marcus Berkmann, who still can't believe he wrote a monthly pop column for the magazine for twenty-eight years without being fired.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,692円

Greek Vase-Painting and the Origins of Visual Humour【電子書籍】[ Alexandre G. Mitchell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book is a comprehensive study of visual humour in ancient Greece, with special emphasis on works created in Athens and Boeotia. Alexandre G. Mitchell brings an interdisciplinary approach to this topic, combining theories and methods of art history, archaeology and classics with the anthropology of humour, and thereby establishing new ways of looking at art and visual humour in particular. Understanding what visual humour was to the ancients and how it functioned as a tool of social cohesion is only one facet of this study. Mitchell also focuses on the social truths that his study of humour unveils: democracy and freedom of expression; politics and religion; Greek vases and trends in fashion; market-driven production; proper and improper behaviour; popular versus elite culture; carnival in situ; and the place of women, foreigners, workers and labourers within the Greek city. Richly illustrated with more than 140 drawings and photographs, this study amply documents the comic representations that formed an important part of ancient Greek visual language from the sixth to the fourth centuries BC.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,379円

The Fatter Sex: A Battle Plan For Women’s Weight Health And Humour【電子書籍】[ Sacha Jones ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The notion of 'body positivity' is widely promoted in the modern West as a feminist ideal empowering women to reject the unhealthy pressures of the thin body-beauty standard.

Her eight-course 'feisty feast' of a battle plan is outlined as an alternative approach, with the ultimate aim of empowering women of all sizes (and skins), not least the mothers and daughters, to recognise and find strength in their common cause.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,200円

The Rhetoric of Brexit Humour Comedy, Populism and the EU Referendum【電子書籍】[ Simon Weaver ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Since 2016 there has been an outpouring of humour, comedy and satire on the United Kingdom’s EU Referendum and decision to leave the EU, or Brexit. This book examines the relationship between Brexit and its comedy, exploring how Brexit and comedy are connected in both Leave and Remain discourse.＜/p＞＜p＞It argues that both populism and comedy are rhetorical in nature and so are linked through their semantic structure and communicative potential. Considering the incongruities that Brexit presents for British society, the author analyses the populism that has emerged from those incongruities in the form of ironic, ambiguous and dichotomous discourse. Through the analysis of a range of comedy on the EU Referendum and Brexit, including material from stand-up and situation comedy, and political satire of various types, ＜em＞The Rhetoric of Brexit Humour＜/em＞ examines the way in which comedy acts as a rhetoric that draws on, supports and attacks the discourses of Brexit. This provides not just an advance in our understanding of political satire but also a clearer description of the nature of populism.＜/p＞＜p＞This book will appeal to sociologists, political scientists, media and communications scholars, and anyone interested in Brexit, populism and comedy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,116円
The British Soldier His Courage and Humour【電子書籍】[ Edward J. Hardy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Excerpt: "I did not need a war of nations to learn about the courage and humour of the British soldier. As a book I wrote called "Mr. Thomas Atkins" shows, I had studied and appreciated him during the thirty-one years in which I served as Chaplain to the Forces. Still, it was pleasant to read despatches and letters from the seat of war highly praising my old friend. This book is based upon the strong, clear letters of Mr. Thomas Atkins (I am never guilty of the impertinence of calling him "Tommy") which were written amidst the stress and strain of war, often even in the pauses of battle. I have done little more than select and classify the letters of that best of war correspondentsーthe British soldier.

Judges, Judging and Humour【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book examines social aspects of humour relating to the judiciary, judicial behaviour, and judicial work across different cultures and eras, identifying how traditionally recorded wit and humorous portrayals of judges reflect social attitudes to the judiciary over time. It contributes to cultural studies and social science/socio-legal studies of both humour and the role of emotions in the judiciary and in judging. It explores the surprisingly varied intersections between humour and the judiciary in several legal systems: judges as the target of humour; legal decisions regulating humour; the use of humour to manage aspects of judicial work and courtroom procedure; and judicial/legal figures and customs featuring in comic and satiric entertainment through the ages.＜/p＞＜p＞Delving into the multi-layered connections between the seriousness of the work of the judiciary on the one hand, and the lightness of humour on the other hand, this fascinating collection will be of particular interest to scholars of the legal system, the criminal justice system, humour studies, and cultural studies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	12,154円
The Trouble with Jokes Humour and Offensiveness in Contemporary Culture and Politics【電子書籍】[ Nick Butler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞We’re accustomed to seeing humour as a diversion from the serious side of life, but humour also permeates some of the most troubling political developments in recent years.

The Rhetoric of Racist Humour US, UK and Global Race Joking【電子書籍】[ Simon Weaver ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In today's multicultural and multireligious societies, humour and comedy often become the focus of controversy over alleged racist or offensive content, as shown, for instance, by the intense debate of Sacha Baron Cohen's characters Ali G and Borat, and the Prophet Muhammad cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Despite these intense debates, commentary on humour in the academy lacks a clear way of connecting the serious and the humorous, and a clear way of accounting for the serious impact of comic language. The absence of a developed 'serious' vocabulary with which to judge the humorous tends to encourage polarized debates, which fail to account for the paradoxes of humour. This book draws on the social theory of Zygmunt Baumann to examine the linguistic structure of humour, arguing that, as a form of language similar to metaphor, it is both unstable and unpredictable, and structurally prone to act rhetorically; that is, to be convincing. Deconstructing the dominant form of racism aimed at black people in the US, and that aimed at Asians in the UK, The Rhetoric of Racist Humour shows how racist humour expresses and supports racial stereotypes in the US and UK, while also exploring the forms of resistance presented by the humour of Black and Asian comedians to such stereotypes. An engaging exploration of modern, late modern and fluid or postmodern forms of humour, this book will be of interest to sociologists and scholars of cultural and media studies, as well as those working in the fields of race and ethnicity, humour and cultural theory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,093円
It Takes A Sense Of Humour A twinless twin's journey of loss, love and triumph over hidden handicaps【電子書籍】[ Patty O'Leary Emry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	On the day she was born in 1950 as one of two identical twins, Patty O’Leary Emry’s formidable challenges were only just beginning. The exhilaration of welcoming new life quickly gave way to desperation as doctors discovered that Patty had multiple congenital difficulties. With underdeveloped digestive, urinary tract, and reproductive systems, the prognosis was grim. When the hospital staff declared that the baby would die within a few days, her steadfast parents refused to give up hope, and they firmly insisted that Patty be given a fighting chanceーafter all, she deserved every chance at life. After ground breaking operations, doctors were able to reconstruct the tiny infant’s digestive organs. It was a miracle that this premature baby survived such procedures, and before long, Patty’s tenacious spirit quickened and flourished. But tragedy struck the family again when, Patty’s twin sister, Catherine, died only three months after being born. Despite the pain of becoming a “twinless twin” and in the face of daily difficulties that many could consider discouraging, Patty rallied and cultivated a robust and outrageous approach to life that has seen her through over twenty-two surgeries in her lifetime. You, the reader, can also lay hold of the transformative power of laughter and positivity in every circumstance. So whether you’re sixteen or ninety-nine, throw off those shackles of self-doubt and despair, put on your dancing shoes, and do the funky chicken on the nearest tabletopーbecause It Takes a Sense of Humour!画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	529円
The Beatles and Humour Mockers, Funny Papers, and Other Play【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Beatles are known for cheeky punchlines, but understanding their humor goes beyond laughing at John Lennon's memorable “rattle your jewelry” dig at the Royal Variety Performance in 1963. From the beginning, the Beatles' music was full of wordplay and winks, guided by comedic influences ranging from rhythm and blues, British radio, and the Liverpool pub scene. Gifted with timing and deadpan wit, the band habitually relied on irony, sarcasm, and nonsense. Early jokes revealed an aptitude for improvisation and self-awareness, techniques honed throughout the 1960s and into solo careers. Experts in the art of play, including musical experimentation, the Beatles' shared sense of humor is a key ingredient to their appeal during the 1960s-and to their endurance.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The Beatles and Humour＜/em＞ offers innovative takes on the serious art of Beatle fun, an instrument of social, political, and economic critique. Chapters also situate the band alongside British and non-British predecessors and collaborators, such as Billy Preston and Yoko Ono, uncovering diverse components and unexpected effects of the Beatles' output.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,268円
Gaulier: Cape Town Harmonies Memory, Humour and Resilience【電子書籍】[ Armelle Gaulier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Cape Town?s public cultures can only be fully appreciated through recognition of its deep and diverse soundscape. We have to listen to what has made and makes a city. The ear is an integral part of the ?research tools? one needs to get a sense of any city. We have to listen to the sounds that made and make the expansive ?mother city?. Various of its constituent parts sound different from each other ? [T]here is the sound of the singing men and their choirs (?teams? they are called) in preparation for the longstanding annual Malay choral competitions. The lyrics from the various repertoires they perform are hardly ever written down. [?] There are texts of the hallowed ?Dutch songs? but these do not circulate easily and widely. Researchers dream of finding lyrics from decades ago, not to mention a few generations ago ? back to the early 19th century. This work by Denis Constant Martin and Armelle Gaulier provides us with a very useful selection of these songs. More than that, it is a critical sociological reflection of the place of these songs and their performers in the context that have given rise to them and sustains their relevance. It is a necessary work and is a very important scholarly intervention about a rather neglected aspect of the history and present production of music in the city.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,771円
Comedy and Distinction The Cultural Currency of a ‘Good’ Sense of Humour【電子書籍】[ Sam Friedman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book was shortlisted for the 2015 BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize.＜/p＞＜p＞Comedy is currently enjoying unprecedented growth within the British culture industries. Defying the recent economic downturn, it has exploded into a booming billion-pound industry both on TV and on the live circuit. Despite this, academia has either ignored comedy or focused solely on analysing comedians or comic texts. This scholarship tends to assume that through analysing an artist’s intentions or techniques, we can somehow understand what is and what isn’t funny. But this poses a fundamental question ? ＜em＞funny to whom＜/em＞? How can we definitively discern how audiences react to comedy?＜/p＞＜p＞Comedy and Distinction shifts the focus to provide the first ever empirical examination of British comedy ＜em＞taste＜/em＞. Drawing on a large-scale survey and in-depth interviews carried out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the book explores what types of comedy people like (and dislike), what their preferences reveal about their sense of humour, how comedy taste lubricates everyday interaction, and how issues of social class, gender, ethnicity and geographical location interact with patterns of comic taste. Friedman asks:＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞Are some types of comedy valued higher than others in British society?＜/li＞＜li＞Does more ‘legitimate’ comedy taste act as a tangible resource in social life ? a form of cultural capital?＜/li＞＜li＞What role does humour play in policing class boundaries in contemporary Britain?＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜/ul＞＜p＞This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, social class, social theory, cultural studies and comedy studies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,953円
