On Humour is a fascinating, beautifully written and funny book on what humour can tell us about being human. Simon Critchley skilfully probes some of the most perennial but least understood aspects of humour, such as our tendency to laugh at animals and our bodies, why we mock death with comedy and why we think it's funny when people act like machines. He also looks at the darker side of humour, as rife in sexism and racism and argues that it is important for reminding us of people we would rather not be. 410 0$aThinking in action. 606 $aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a128/.3 700 $aCritchley$b Simon$f1960-,$0687642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955594503321 996 $aOn humour$91232891 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04570nam 2200613 a 450 001 9910965129503321 005 20251116142229.0 010 $a0-8157-2356-3 010 $a0-585-36990-9 035 $a(CKB)111004368618646 035 $a(EBL)3004371 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000234578 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12075278 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000234578 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10241310 035 $a(PQKB)11433329 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3004371 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10063825 035 $a(OCoLC)48138695 035 $a(OCoLC)1273307140 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_78627 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3004371 035 $a(BIP)005884023 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111004368618646 100 $a20011128d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aReflections on regionalism /$fBruce Katz, editor ; [foreword by Al Gore] 205 $a[Online-ausg.]. 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cBrookings Institution Press$dc2000 215 $a1 online resource (302 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-8157-4825-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Contents""; ""Foreword""; ""Reflections on Regionalism""; ""Editora???s Overview""; ""1 Metropolitan Land- Use Reform: The Promise and Challenge of Majority Consensus""; ""PART ONE - REGIONAL GROWTH AND GOVERNANCE""; ""2 Growing and Governing Smart: A Case Study of the New York Region""; ""3 Growth Management: The Core Regional Issue""; ""4 The Death and Life of American Regional Planning""; ""PART TWO - COALITIONS AND METROPOLITANISM""; ""5 Coalition Building for Regionalism""; ""6 Business Coalitions as a Force for Regionalism""; ""PART THREE - RACE AND REGIONALISM"" 327 $a""7 Gentlemana???s Agreement: Discrimination in Metropolitan America""""8 Addressing Regional Dilemmas for Minority Communities""; ""PART FOUR - A CONTRARIAN METROPOLITAN VIEW""; ""9 Empowering Families to Vote with Their Feet""; ""Contributors""; ""Index"" 330 8 $aAcademics, community activists, and politicians have rediscovered regionalism, insisting that regions are critical functional units in a world-wide economy and, just as important, critical functional units in individual American lives. More and more of us travel across city, county, even state borders every morning on our way to work. Our television, radio, and print media rely on a regional marketplace. Our businesses, large and small, depend on suppliers, workers, and customers who rarely reside in a single jurisdiction. The parks, riverfronts, stadiums, and museums we visit draw from, and provide an identity to, an area much larger than a single city. The fumes, gases, chemicals, and run-off that pollute our air and water have no regard for municipal boundaries.This book lays out a variety of opinions on regionalism, its history and its future. While the essays do not comprise a debate, pro and con, about regionalism, they do provide a wide array of perspectives, based on the authors' diverse backgrounds and experience. Some contributors have made close academic studies of how regional action occurs, in various states like Minnesota, California, and Oregon; others give an historical account of a particular region like that surrounding New York City; and yet others point out aspects of regionalism--race, especially-- that should not be ignored.Why did past efforts at regional collaboration fall apart? What did regionalist efforts of decades ago leave undone, and what new goals should regionalists set? Without an understanding of these questions, policymakers and advocates may find themselves "reinventing the region." This book provides an important understanding of how regionalism has played out in the past, how policies shape places, and the possibilities and limits of regional action.Bruce J.
