Dutch humorists and television programs --Notes --References --IndexGood Humor, Bad Taste is the first extensive sociological study of the relationship between humor and social background. Using a combination of interview materials, survey data, and historical materials, the book explores the relationship between humor and gender, age, regional background, and especially, humor and social class in the Netherlands. The final chapter focuses on national differences, exploring the differences between the American and the Dutch sense of humor, again using a combination of interview and survey materials. The starting point for this exploration of differences in sense of humor is one specific humorous genre: the joke. The joke is not a very prestigious genre; in the Netherlands even less so than in the US. It is precisely this lack of status that made it a good starting point for asking questions about humor and taste. Interviewees generally had very pronounced opinions about the genre, calling jokes "their favorite kind humor", but also "completely devoid of humor" and "a form of intellectual poverty". Good Humor, Bad Taste attempts to explain why jokes are good humor to some, bad taste to others. The focus on this one genre enables Good Humor, Bad Taste to have a very wide scope. The book not only covers the appreciation and evaluation of jokes by different social groups and in different cultures, and its relationship with wider humor styles. It also describes the genre itself: the history of the genre, its decline in status from the sixteenth century onward, and the way the topics and the tone of jokes have changed over the last fifty years of the twentieth century.Dutch wit and humorHistory and criticismWit and humorSocial aspectsElectronic books.Dutch wit and humorHistory and criticism.Wit and humorSocial aspects.306.4/81EC 3980rvkKuipers Giselinde1971-1033124MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464222703321Good humor, bad taste2451491UNINA05955nam 22008295 450 99646575970331620200630005652.03-540-30216-610.1007/b101552(CKB)1000000000212600(SSID)ssj0000101090(PQKBManifestationID)11109028(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000101090(PQKBWorkID)10037265(PQKB)10088579(PQKBManifestationID)16120399(PQKB)21359234(DE-He213)978-3-540-30216-2(MiAaPQ)EBC3087335(PPN)155200631(EXLCZ)99100000000021260020121227d2004 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtcczAlgorithms and Models for the Web-Graph[electronic resource] Third International Workshop, WAW 2004, Rome, Italy, October 16, 2004.

The World Wide Web has become part of our everyday life and information retrievalanddataminingontheWebisnowofenormouspracticalinterest.Some of the algorithms supporting these activities are based substantially on viewing the Web as a graph, induced in various ways by links among pages, links among hosts, or other similar networks. Theaimofthe2004WorkshoponAlgorithmsandModelsfortheWeb-Graph was to further the understanding of these Web-induced graphs, and stimulate the development of high-performance algorithms and applications that use the graphstructureoftheWeb.Theworkshopwasmeantbothtofosteranexchange of ideas among the diverse set of researchers already involved in this topic, and to act as an introduction for the larger community to the state of the art in this area. This was the third edition of a very successful workshop on this topic, WAW 2002 was held in Vancouver, Canada, in conjunction with the 43rd - nual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, FOCS 2002, and WAW 2003 was held in Budapest, Hungary, in conjunction with the 12th Int- national World Wide Web Conference, WWW 2003. This was the ?rst edition of the workshop with formal proceedings.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;3243ComputersSoftware engineeringAlgorithmsComputer science—MathematicsApplication softwareInformation storage and retrievalTheory of Computationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16005Software Engineering/Programming and Operating Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021Discrete Mathematics in Computer Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17028Information Systems Applications (incl.
