review: Laugh, if you are wise - A literary journey from Homer to Beckett-reading book

This primer is divided into two major parts: The first part deals with comic conflict, the second with the theories of laughter.

The comic conflicts are divided into:

curtain! Jester, mocker and minstrels

heavenly laughter

joked at the beginning of the woman

mocked mocker

wit as a weapon

"When` s is the truth? " As fools

Foolish servant Mr.

ridiculous "I'm Carlini" From the comic Tagik

laughter at the abyss

"Not by wrath, but kills you."

This part of the reading text book of Hippocrates, Lucian, Apuleius, Dario For, Homer, Plato, Jean de la Fontaine, Johann Peter Hebel, Giovanni Boccaccio, Sebastian Brant, Erasmus of Rotterdam, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, Grimmelshausen, Molière, Denis Diderot, Baudelaire, Friedrich Nietzsche and many others.

The second part, "Theories of Laughter" includes very illuminating passages from Plato, René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Georg Jünger, Franz Kafka and Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, etc.

The epilogue of the Issuer Laetia Rimpau is very instructive with regard to the design of the book, the literary texts of the European culture of laughter imagining. This goes back to antiquity. It's about the questions: "When or what the protagonists in novels or laugh in plays," "When and why breaks out in a poem or a novel in society laughter?" and "What exactly is under To understand spot, comedy or joke? "(quote p. 308)

The editor notes that in the presented texts rarely funny, approaching I can confirm where Nietzsche is in.." Origin the comic "finds that marks the transition from momentary anxiety in short-lasting high spirits as the comic, adding, that the phenomenon of the tragic man quickly changes over from a large, constant high spirits in great fear. Because of the constant high spirits among mortals far fewer than the cause for fear, it would be more comical than tragic in this World, we laugh more often than that one was shaken (see: p. 282).

Friedrich Georg Jünger says that everything funny thing is clear from a conflict, and without this nothing funny inconceivable. Only when we become aware of the conflict, we are able to perceive the comic. Where the states are in dispute could be nothing comical results. Because of the conflict requires its concept for movement, one finds according to disciples in all comedy, a ratio of movement and countermovement. Had been established that the comic has in common with the tragic conflict in the origin, (see: p.293).

Many intellectuals haben im Lachen ein Laster begriffen. Dario Fo schreibt: "Das Misstrauen gegenüber dem Lachen und der Komik ist ein allgemeines Problem. Es ist eine Haltung der offiziellen und akademischen Kultur. Viele von denen, die Machtpositionen erreichen, neigen zu akademischen Haltungen, in dem sie ihre Gehirne mit gewichtiger Ernsthaftigkeit auspolstern. Angesichts eines Komikers reagieren sie dann nur noch mit athrosischer Blockade der Kiefermuskeln", (vgl.: S.309).  Diese Beobachtung habe ich auch gemacht und habe es stets so gedeutet, dass solche Personen all zu sehr in einer Rolle verhaftet sind und es ihnen an wirklicher Intellektualität mangelt, für die eine heitere, entspannte Grundstimmung m.E. sehr förderlich is.

Reading Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno one finds include a thought that I would like to quote here because it expresses something essential: "The diabolical laughter of the wrong lies in the fact that even the best, reconciliation mandatory parodied. " (Zitat. page. 304). The false laughter of the entertainment industry becomes an instrument of fraud in the happiness, the two men, one can only agree.

The Greeks argued about sense and nonsense of laughter. While academic philosophers want to banish the buffoon in the comedy, considered Kyniker wie Diogenes von Sinope das Lachen als Welthaltung.  Scherzen und Lachen war von Beginn an auch weiblich, das zeigen Texte, wie  "Sara, du hast gelacht" aus der Genesis, oder auch Platons "Die spottende Thrakerin".  Die Herausgeberin lässt den Leser wissen, dass die griechische und römische Antike den Lachgott kannte, dem zu Ehren öffentliche Feste abgehalten wurden. Davon berichtet Apuleius in seinen "Metamorphosen". Allerdings setze sich im Übergang zum Christentum das Lachverbot durch. Nun wird in der christlichen Morallehre das Lachen von der Bühne verbannt. Auf welche Weise das heitere Lachen aus der Literatur verdrängt wurde, wird in Umberto Eccos Roman "Im Name the Rose. "vividly illustrates

The presented in the book texts seem like a stroll through the laughing History tortured laughter and loud Laughter not indicate Entspanntsein I like what Dario For, says:.." The power, and that every power, fear nothing more than the laughter, the smiles and sarcasm. They are a sign of critical sense, imagination, intelligence, and the opposite of fanaticism "(quote p.318)...
