Presenting a cultural and interdisciplinary study of humor in Spain
from the eighteenth century to the present day, this book examines
how humour entered public life, how it attained a legitimacy to
communicate 'serious' ideas in the Enlightenment and how this set
the seed for the key position that humor occupies in society today.
Through a range of case studies that run from Goya's paintings,
humor, and gender representations in radio programmes during the
first Franco regime, developmentalist cinema of the sixties and
seventies, to the transformation of female humor in social media,
the book traces the core role that the comical has played in the
public sphere. The contributors to this volume represent a wide
range of disciplines including gender studies, humour studies and
Hispanic studies and offer international perspectives on Spanish
laughter.
