"Can science be funny?" takes a close look at an element of modern
science communication that is as innovative as it is promising for
the future: comedy! Readers are guided through vividly presented
academic theory as well as exciting hands-on and best practice
examples from renowned practitioners and cabaret artists: - What do
sheep's cheese and car tires have in common? - Can laughter break
down walls? - How does "Die Anstalt" work? - How does magic create
knowledge? - Is there humor in museums? - When a Dalmatian comes to
the cash register - Three steps to humor - Serving suggestion for
the Holy Spirit - dictatorship of stupidity - And much more! But
it's not all just funny. Comedy can also take away some of the
biting sharpness of criticism, making it digestible, even
palatable, for the addressees. "Can Science Be Funny?" navigates
between criticism and cabaret, tackling comedy in various guises
from different perspectives. 22 contributions show how the results
of science, research and technology can be brought to the general
public in new ways. In particular, they also demonstrate how humour
can be used as a critical and questioning force - valuable for all
types of communication and helpful so that they come across more
shrewdly in the future.
