First published in 1996, this volume is a sequel to Humour in
Society: Resistance and Control which was edited by George E.C.
Paton and Chris Powell. Now, seven years later, the culturally
central nature of humour seems greater than ever. This collection
of original essays critically assesses the practices of humour in
various role relationships in a number of social contexts, for
example, in the workplace and between family members. A feature of
this new volume is the critical analysis of socio-linguistic
practices, including the use of jokes and cartoons, to manage
tensions in social relationships at the micro- and
macro-sociological levels of human interaction. Wider social and
cultural issues area also examined by other contributors concerned
with alternative comedy and sitcoms in British and Australian
society, for example, which along with humour practices are
situated by the editors in their introduction to substantiate the
value of studying and researching the sociology of humour.
