This volume analyzes the conflation of "Jewishness" and satiric
humour arising in conjunction with the authors M.G. Saphir, Ludwig
Borne and Heinrich Heine, whose wit inspired considerable public
controversy in the period 1820-1850. It also traces the influence
of the idea of Judenwitzon later conceptions of German literary and
cultural history. Chase's inter-disciplinary approach, which
combines detailed historical research, humour theory and textual
interpretation, describes Judenwitz as both a negative stereotype
and a positive authorial strategy. The result is the story of a
discourse that offered Jewish writers an entry into the German
mainstream at the same time as it programmed an antisemitic
response. With its unique focus and methodology, "Inciting
Laughter" offers new perspectives on questions of majority and
minority identity in German culture.
