Humor is pervasive in contemporary culture, and is generally
celebrated as a public good. Yet there are times when it is felt to
produce intolerance, misunderstanding or even hatred. This book
brings together, for the first time, contributions that consider
the ethics as well as the aesthetics of humor. The book focuses on
the abuses and limits of humor, some of which excite considerable
social tension and controversy. "Beyond a Joke" is an exciting
intervention, full of challenging questions and issues.
