The book presents examples from different cultures (Russia, Europe, USA), from different historical epochs (from the Napoleonic era up to the current time) and from different medias (caricature, journalism, film). By looking at the individual cases it becomes possible to recognize some general structural patterns and to gain a deeper insight into the »functioning« of humour and laughter.»[The study] demonstrates usefully how historical investigations focused on humor emphasize questions not merely about the nature of humor or how it can be identified, but also concerning its functions and applications.« Daniel Derrin, Humor, 31/4 (2018) Besprochen in: Werkstatt Geschichte, 71 (2015), Eckart SchörleHistorische Lebenswelten in populären Wissenskulturen.CivilizationHistoryCultureStudy and teachingElectronic books.Caricature.Cultural History.Cultural Studies.Film.Humour.Memory Culture.Transculture.War.CivilizationHistory.CultureStudy and teaching.909Nohejl RegineCheauré ElisabethKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910315233403321Humour and Laughter in History2264619UNINA
