Sinopsis

Comedic Psychology explores the science behind what makes us laugh, diving into the psychological, social, and cultural factors that shape our sense of humor. It examines how humor functions not just as entertainment, but also as a tool for coping, social bonding, and even communication. The book argues that humor isn't universal, but rather a dynamic product influenced by individual psychology, social situations, and cultural norms. This provides insights into human behavior, social dynamics, and cognitive processes.

 
The book begins by introducing core humor theories, such as superiority, relief, and incongruity, before exploring the cognitive processes involved in understanding jokes, like pattern recognition and emotional response. Subsequent chapters delve into humor's social functions, examining how it builds group cohesion and diffuses tension.

 
Cross-cultural analysis reveals how humor varies across societies, reflecting different values and beliefs. The concluding chapters explore practical applications, from therapeutic uses to marketing strategies.

 
Unique in its comprehensive approach, the book integrates psychological theories with sociological analyses and cross-cultural perspectives. Supported by research from diverse fields, Comedic Psychology offers a balanced, evidence-based understanding of humor's role in our lives.

    Romantic Things - A Tree A Rock...

    Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.
