Abstract

Schwankromane wie etwa der "Pfaffe Amîs", der "Kalenberger" oder "Neithart Fuchs" standen lange Zeit im Schatten des bekannteren Eulenspiegel-Romans. Dabei prägten die übrigen Romane deutlich die Erscheinungsform auch dieses Werks der Weltliteratur und somit auch die faszinierende, zum Teil widersprüchlich wirkende Zeichnung seines Helden. Der Band zeigt, wie im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert, ausgehend von älteren Stoffen, mit den neuen Mitteln der typographischen Revolution eine literarische Gattung ins Leben gerufen wurde, die sich als Unterhaltungsliteratur an ein breiteres anonymes Publikum richtete. Die Untersuchung ermöglicht Einblicke sowohl in die Mentalitätsgeschichte einer Zeit, deren Ängste und Wünsche sich paradigmatisch in der Symbolfigur des Narren spiegeln, als auch in erste unternehmerische Strategien, Bücher am Markt zu etablieren, indem sie sich an anderen erfolgreichen Titeln orientieren.

Abstract

Humour is a key feature, laughter a central element, disrespect a vital textual strategy of postcolonial transcultural practice. Devices such as irony, parody, and subversion, can be subsumed under an interventionist stance and have accordingly received some critical attention. But literary and cultural postcolonial criticism has been marked by a restraint verging on the pious towards the wider significance and functions of laughter. This collection transcends such orthodoxies: laughter can constitute an intervention - but it can also function otherwise. The essays collected here take an interest in the strategic use of what can loosely be termed laughter - in all its manifestations. Examining postcolonial transcultural practice from a range of disciplinary and methodological perspectives, this study seeks to analyse laughter and the postcolonial in their complexity. For the first time, then, this collection gathers a group of international specialists in postcolonial transcultural studies to analyse the functions of laughter, the comic and humour in a wide range of cultural texts. Contributors work on texts from Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, the Caribbean, and Britain, reading work by authors such as Zakes Mda, Timothy Mo, VS Naipaul, and Zadie Smith. This interdisciplinary collection is a contribution to both, postcolonial studies and humour theory.

Abstract

"Comedy was at the centre of a fierce controversy that raged from the opening of the first purpose-built playhouse in 1576 to the closure of the theatres in 1742. Shakespeare's plays made capital of this controversy. In them he repeatedly invokes the case made against comedy by the theatre-haters: that it perverts the young and incites the old to gross political and social misconduct. His plays are filled with jokes that go too far, laughter that hurts its victims, wordplay that turns to swordplay, and acts of comic rebellion and revenge that threaten destruction to individuals, families and even states. His comedy is unsettling, and this is part of what makes it pleasurable. Shakespeare and Comedy traces Shakespeare's exploration of the precarious status of the comic and the question of comic timing through close examination of eleven of his plays. This illuminating study succeeds in recapturing the sense of danger as well as delight that attached itself to theatrical laughter in Shakespeare's lifetime."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
