Despite their inherent seriousness, the law and those who practice
it, be it lawyers, judges, politicians, or bureaucrats, are amongst
the most popular objects of comedy and humour. Sometimes even the
mention of the law, or the mere use of legal vocabulary, can
trigger laughter. This is deeply counterintuitive, but true across
cultures and historical eras: while the law is there to prevent and
remedy injustice, it often ends up becoming the butt of comedy. But
laughter and comedy, too, are also infused with seriousness: as
universal social phenomena, they are extremely complex objects of
study. This book maps out the many intersections of the law and
laughter, from classical Greece to the present day. Taking on
well-known classical and modern works of literature and visual
culture, from Aristophanes to Laurel and Hardy and from Nietzsche
to Totò and Fernandel, laughter and comedy bring law back to the
complexity of human soul and the unpredictability of life.

humanity. So, the study of childhood and the improvement of its
social, psychological and economic conditions also means to help to
build a better society and a better world.
