Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear-a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writing-from essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke book-Mary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient "monkey business" to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising.  But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really "get" the Romans' jokes?Sather classical lectures ;71(DE-605)HT018717817LaughterRomeHistoryTo 1500Latin wit and humorHistory and criticismRomeSocial life and customsancient literary criticism.ancient rome.anthropology.approachable scholarship.classical literature.conversational.cultural studies.essays on rhetoric.funny.history of ancient rome.history of laughter.history.humor and drama.humor.inviting.jokes.laughter.literary analysis.monkey business.performing arts.purpose of laughter.roman culture.roman history.roman humor.roman joke book.roman writing.sather classical lectures.theories of humor.LaughterHistoryLatin wit and humorHistory and criticism.152.4/30937HIS002000LIT004190POL010000bisacshBeard Mary1955-163582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813328103321Laughter in ancient Rome3967885UNINA03557oas 2201381 a 450 991014471040332120260127110040.01521-2254(DE-599)ZDB2002203-7(OCoLC)39727498(CONSER)sn 98002340(CKB)954925610937(DE-599)2002203-7(EXLCZ)9995492561093719980821a19999999 sy aengurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe journal of gene medicineNew York, NY John Wiley & Sons©1999-Chichester, West Sussex, UK John Wiley & Sons, Ltd1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedTitle from table of contents (viewed July 28, 2003).1099-498X Gene medicineJ. gene med.Genetic transformationPeriodicalsGene therapyPeriodicalsCellular therapyPeriodicalsGene therapyGene Transfer, HorizontalGenetic TherapyThérapie géniquePériodiquesThérapie cellulairePériodiquesThérapie géniqueCellular therapyfast(OCoLC)fst00850322Gene therapyfast(OCoLC)fst00939638Genetic transformationfast(OCoLC)fst00940104Transformació genèticathubGenètica molecularthubPeriodical.periodicals.aatPeriodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftPériodiques.rvmgfRevistes electròniques.thubGenetic transformationGene therapyCellular therapyGene therapy.Gene Transfer, Horizontal.Genetic Therapy.Thérapie géniqueThérapie cellulaireThérapie génique.Cellular therapy.Gene therapy.Genetic transformation.Transformació genètica.Genètica molecular.616Wiley InterScience (Online service),Wiley Online Library (Online service),NSDNSDEYMTJCOCLCQNSDN@FOCLCQMUQEEMOCLCQUKMGBOCLCQDLCOCLCQDLCLGGOCLCQOCLCFOCLCANLGGCOCLCQNLEAPUMSU3WOCLCQAU@OCLCOWYUVT2OCLCOOCLCQOCLCOCNTRUNJTOCLCABWNOCLCOOCLCQOCLCOUBYOCLCQUABOCLCQQGKOCLCLSXBOCLCQJOURNAL9910144710403321The journal of gene medicine2028555UNINA
