[EAN: 9781493792054], Neubuch, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Laughter An Essay on The Meaning of the Comic By Henri Bergson Bergson begins to note three facts on the comic: 1, the comic is strictly a human phenomenon. A landscape cannot be a source of laughter, and when humans make fun of animals, it is often because they recognize some human behaviour in them. Man is not only a being that can laugh, but also a being that is a source of laughter. 2, laughter requires an indifference, a detachment from sensibility and emotion: it is more difficult to laugh when one is fully aware of the seriousness of a situation. 3, it is difficult to laugh alone, it is easier to laugh collectively. One who is excluded from a group of people does not laugh with them, there is often a complicity in laughter. Thus the comic is not a mere pleasure of the intellect, it is a human and social activity, it has a social meaning., Books<
