Elliott Oring asks essential questions concerning humorous
expression in contemporary society, examining how humor works, why
it is employed, and what its messages might be. This provocative
book is filled with examples of jokes and riddles that reveal humor
to be a meaningful--even significant--form of expression. Oring
provides alternate ways of thinking about humorous expressions by
examining their contexts--not just their contents. "Engaging Humor"
demonstrates that when analyzed contextually and comparatively,
humorous expressions emerge as communications that are startling,
intriguing, and profound.
