Sinopse

Comedic Timing explores the science behind what makes us laugh, diving into the psychological and linguistic elements that make jokes work. It argues that comedic timing isn't just innate talent; it's a skill rooted in cognitive processes and speech patterns. The book investigates how our brains react to humor, highlighting the Benign-Violation Theory, which suggests we find humor in situations that are both threatening and safe. It also examines how expectation violations contribute to funniness.

 
The book progresses from the psychology of humor to the specifics of timing and delivery. It analyzes how wordplay, pauses, and intonation affect comedic impact, drawing examples from stand-up, improv, and everyday conversations. It also considers the impact of speech disfluencies and social context on humor perception.

 
By bridging performing arts and psychology, Comedic Timing offers insights into effective communication and the power of humor in social interactions.

    Africa Is Not a Country - Notes...

    So often, Africa has been depicted simplistically as a uniform land of famines and safaris, poverty and strife, stripped of all nuance. In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa's rich diversity, communities, and histories. 
     
     
     
    Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries' colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent's struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships. With biting wit, he takes on the phenomenon of the white savior complex and brings to light the damage caused by charity campaigns of the past decades. Entering into the rivalries that energize the continent, Faloyin engages in the heated debate over which West African country makes the best jollof rice and describes the strange, incongruent beauty of the African Cup of Nations. With an eye toward the future promise of the continent, he explores the youth-led cultural and political movements that are defining and reimagining Africa on their own terms. 
     
     
     
    Africa Is Not a Country celebrates the energy and particularity of the continent's different cultures and communities, treating Africa with the respect it deserves.

    Choosing Well - The Good the Bad...

    Self-defeating behavior and the damage it can cause constitute a rich and intriguing area of philosophical inquiry. Choosing Well explores the challenges associated with effective choice over time from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Andreou focuses on the challenges raised by cyclic preferences and incomplete preferences, both of which interfere with our ability to neatly order our options and thus make us susceptible to self-defeating patterns of choice which in turn create unacceptable results. 
     
     
     
    What are we to do if we find ourselves with cyclic preferences or with incomplete preferences? Do such preferences make us irrational? Andreou argues that rationality does not invariably prohibit disorderly preferences but does prompt us to proceed with caution when preferences are disorderly. Theories of rational choice often dismiss or abstract away from the sorts of disorderly preferences that Andreou focuses on, since they assume that rational agents can and should have neat preferences over their options. Instead, Andreou suggests, rationality can validate certain disorderly preference structures while also protecting us from self-defeating patterns of choice.

    When ancient Egypt is mentioned, images often come to mind of tombs covered in hieroglyphs being opened by Victorian-era explorers, revealing "wonderful things"—as Howard Carter famously described upon first glimpsing the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become the preserve of wealthy Europeans? And what can be done today to restore agency and rightful ownership to the country where this field was born?
