 Vignettes, Prose Poetry, and Humour【電子書籍】[ Jan Oskar Hansen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Poetry There are times when I despair of some poetry written, nice words knitted together for the sake of sounding pleasant the truth of life is made into a Hollywood romance, beautiful and we cry, misspent, sentimental tears over the irrelevant. My almond tree looks spindly like an oversized spiders web, so ugly in its bareness that hadnt it been for love I would have averted my gaze from this grimness called a tree. But I also know, say, a month from now it will be covered in pink flowers which it strews on the path I walk. There are times when I hate to hear about red roses, because the next sentence will be trivial, like bleakness should not be a part of life.＜/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。 | 607円 |

 Framing Literary Humour Cells, Masks and Bodies as 20th-Century Sites of Imprisonment【電子書籍】[ Dr. Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Contrary to what their oppressive design would lead us to believe, might structures of imprisonment actually incite humour? Starting from the most obvious areas of imprisonment (war camps, prison cells) and moving to the less obvious (masks, bodies), ＜em＞Framing Literary Humour＜/em＞ demonstrates how 20th-century humour in theory and in fiction cannot be fully understood without a careful look at its connection with the notion of imprisonment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Understanding imprisonment as a concrete spatial setting or a metaphorical image, Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard analyses selected works of Romain Gary, Giovannino Guareschi, Wyndham Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov and Luigi Pirandello to reconfigure confinement as an essential structural condition for the emergence of humour.＜/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。 | 4,624円 |
 Ha, Ha And Aha The Role Of Humour In Psychotherapy【電子書籍】[ Harold H. Mosak, PhD. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞First published in 1987. What distinguishes people from other animals is said to be people's ability to laugh. Much of the literature treats humor as a normal but pathological phenomenon. This volume first describes a theory which not only views humor as nonpathological, but as contributing to the evolution of social interest. It then describes the structure of the joke and proceeds to elaborate the forms and goals humor takes in psychotherapy.＜/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 |
 Characters and Surprises in Stand-up Comedy A Linguistic Exploration of How Comedians Use Impersonation and Expectation to Create Humour【電子書籍】[ Lorenzo Logi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞This book employs a social semiotic methodology to investigate how comedians use impersonation and expectation to create humour in stand-up comedy.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ It advances the linguistic cartography of how meaning-making resources contribute to humour in interactive humour genres. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) underpins the book's approach and is integrated with recent work on multimodality and paralanguage as well as humour studies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author develops a consolidated analytical framework for identifying and analysing the intermodal semiotic resources that contribute to impersonation and expectation in humour including gesture and voice quality ? paralinguistic resources vital but underexplored in humorous texts. The framework is then applied through close discourse analysis of excerpts from three stand-up comedy texts by different comedians: Ricky Gervais, Eddie Izzard and Michelle Wolf. The findings outline typical and more complex realisations of intermodal impersonation, differentiate categories in how comedians employ impersonation to create humour, and describe how linguistic expectation can be established and subverted for humorous effect. These findings will be of interest to readers across the disciplines of linguistics, humour studies and multi/intermodality who are interested in the interaction between paralanguage, expectation and the negotiation of values so as to establish and maintain social relationships.＜/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。 | 16,192円 |

 Shandean Humour in English and German Literature and Philosophy【電子書籍】[ James Vigus ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"One of many writers inspired by Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy, the German novelist Jean Paul Richter coined the term 'Shandean humour' in his work of aesthetic theory. The essays in this volume investigate how Sterne's humour functions, the reasons for its enduring appeal, and what role it played in identity-construction and in the representation of melancholy. In tracing its hitherto under-recognised impact both on literary writers, such as Jean Paul and Herman Melville, and on philosophers, including Hegel and Marx, the collection reveals that Shandean humour is a Grenzganger - a point of commerce not only between Anglophone and German discourses, but also between literature and philosophy. Klaus Vieweg is Professor of Philosophy at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena; James Vigus is postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of English and American Studies, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich; Kathleen M. Wheeler is Reader in English Literature at the University of Cambridge."＜/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。 | 9,279円 |

 Masks, Mandates and Mayhem How one family kept a sense of humour through the covid panic【電子書籍】[ Gail Foster ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A sense of humour, a garden, two dogs, an extended family, a 'make do and mend' mentality, new freedom fighter friends and a deepening Christian faith enabled one family to weather the storm that was Covid. Pervasive and unrelenting fear produced a divide between those who received a 'safe and effective' vaccine and those who did not, a requirement to wear a mask to go to a swimming pool or visit a dentist, job losses, QR checks at playgrounds and the great toilet paper panic. The unvaccinated were separated from family and friends, forbidden to enter restaurants and other businesses, and threatened with quarantine camps. Meanwhile the climate hystericals were threatening to remove meat from the menu, energy from the home and holidays from the family calendar. 'Social distance' 'SADS (sudden adult death)syndrome', 'vaccidents', 'covidiocy', 'new normal', 'safe and effective', 'the science', 'essential services', are now unfortunately, terms in common usage Masks, Mandates and Mayhem invents an alternative laugh and learn vocabulary such as 'Dicky Ticker syndrome', a 'wedding of wallabies', the 'nsq (nutters per square inch) quotient' and 'fart facts' and services such as the 'crow and go' rooster drop off program and 'cinderella cleaning'. Media lies, police brutality, medical negligence and political bullying combined with technological surveillance to produce the biggest global evil in history.

 The Uses and Abuses of Humour in Social Work【電子書籍】[ Stephen Jordan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In recent years, social work academics and practitioners have highlighted the need to "re-claim" methodologies which unpack creativity and resourcefulness.

 The Language of Humour and Its Transmutation in Indian Political Cartoons【電子書籍】[ Vinod Balakrishnan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book develops a model to examine the language of humour, which is multimodal and accounts for the possibility of transmutation of humour as it is performed through editorial cartoons. By transmutation is meant the transition in the language of humour when it crosses its own boundaries to provoke unprecedented reactions resulting in offensiveness, disappointment or hurt sentiment. The transmutability about the language of humour points to its inherently diabolical nature which manifests in the performance of controversial cartoons. The model is built by borrowing theoretical cues from Roman Jakobson, Roland Barthes, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. The integrated model, then, is developed to examine the cartoons which were recommended for deletion by the Thorat Committee, following a cartoon controversy in India. Through the cartoon analysis, the model discerns the significance of context and temporality in determining the impact of humour. It also examines how the ethics of humour;the blurred lines of political correctness and incorrectness are dictated by the political atmosphere and the power dynamics.＜/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。 | 13,369円 |
 My Mate Gidgee An outback story of hard yakka and humour【電子書籍】[ Sandy Thorne ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Best mates Tom and Gidgee toil and laugh together for decades in the shearing sheds and stockyards of the challenging, semi-arid Western Division of New South Wales. Constantly tested by extremes of nature, their huge capacity for both work and laughter helps them cope with everything that’s thrown at them. ‘My Mate Gidgee’ is an authentic, entertaining, sometimes shocking, often funny, yarn from outback Australia, told by the author of the popular Battler series. The humour features the coarse yarns and jokes of the stockyards and shearing sheds, in an era when that was a man’s world, and the chauvinistic attitudes were balanced by chivalry.＜/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。 | 1,155円 |

 Sing Us Anothery Dirty As Buggery Australian bawdy songs, recitations and humour【電子書籍】[ Warren Fahey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This r-rated collection documents nearly 600 disgustingly sexist, racist, ageist and just about every other politically incorrect 'ist' song and recitation collected in Australia. Old international favourites like The Good Ship Venus and Barnacle Bill are included, often changed in their Australian journey, plus many works created in the 19th century when the bush was a wild pioneering place where the shearers, drovers, gold diggers and other travellers assembled. Homemade entertainment was often bawdy in this male-dominated world (at one stage there were 5 men to every woman in Australia) and folklorist, Warren Fahey, has collected and provided source notes to every item. It is a staggering work and represents the end of an aural tradition.＜/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。 | 1,444円 |

 Humour in Psychoanalysis and Coaching Supervision From Life to Interventions【電子書籍】[ Ingela Camba Ludlow ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Drawing from psychoanalytic principles, Ingela Camba Ludlow uniquely explores and endorses humour as a serious and essential practical tool in coaching, coaching supervision and psychotherapy, showing how, when successfully integrated, it can help clients navigate the most difficult professional and personal challenges.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Often misunderstood and not accepted in the academic arena, chapters in Part 1 begin by looking at the history and evolution of humour from the Ancient Greeks to the modern age, distinguishing different types of humour from each other, such as wit, sarcasm and pantomime. Freud believed humour to be the highest mechanism of the human psyche and the book continues to examine his relationship and use of humour in psychotherapy, looking at his personal correspondence and patient testimonials as well as how his contemporaries, such as Bion, applied humour in their practice. Moving from theory to practice, chapters in Part 2 show practitioners through case studies, exercises and examples how they can use humour in sessions with clients. Specifically addressing how to use humour ethically, how to remain neutral as the coach and how to use humour to address anxiety, express anger and offer alternative rationalisations, this book provides coaches the practical tools to expand their coaching practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This interdisciplinary book will be essential reading for coaches, psychotherapists and counsellors looking to broaden their coaching supervision skill set, as well as those who are interested in how humour can promote personal and professional development through a psychoanalytic lens.＜/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。 | 6,511円 |
