AN ANATOMY OF HUMOR
Arthur Asa
Berger
Humor permeates every aspect of society and has done so for thousands of
years. People experience it daily through television, newspapers, literature,
and contact with others. Rarely do social researchers analyze humor or try
to determine what makes it such a dominating force in our lives. The types
of jokes a person enjoys contribute significantly to the definition of that
person as well as to the character of a given society. Arthur Asa
Berger
explores these and other related topics in An Anatomy of Humor, now available
in paperback. He shows how humor can range from the simple pun to
complex plots in Elizabethan plays.
Berger
examines a number of topics
—
ethnicity, race, gender, politics
—
each with its own comic dimension. Laughter is beneficial to both our physical
and mental health, according to Berger. He discerns a multiplicity of ironies
that are intrinsic to the analysis of humor. He discovers as much complexity
and ambiguity in a cartoon, such as Mickey Mouse, as he finds in an
important piece of literature, such as Huckleberry Finn. An Anatomy of Humor
is an intriguing and enjoyable read for people interested in humor and the
impact of popular and mass culture on society. It will also be of interest to
professionals in communication and psychologists concerned with the
creative process.
This book belongs on the shelf of anyone who appreciates humor. It also
belongs in the laboratories of psychological researchers investigating when
and how we laugh.

T. Cameron Wild, Contemporary Psychology
This is a significant book, and it will surely have a welcome place in any
lumor library.
