Para unos, el humor es un juego; para otros, una posicion ante la vida. Otros, en cambio, ven en el humor un refugio; una huida. Son muchos los que vislumbran en el un aire de "jovialidad, agudeza, apacibilidad de genio y alegria"; hay quien lo asocia al deseo satisfecho o, tal vez, como Freud defendia, al insatisfecho. No falta quien lo afilie con el absurdo, el disparate, la tonteria, la comicidad, la burla y otros tantos miembros de tan ludica familia. Corriendo el riesgo de olvidarnos de algunas de sus caracteristicas - como decia Pirandello -, y a la vez, intentando contribuir a ampliar la ya poliedrica nocion del termino, el presente estudio analiza los procedimientos linguisticos generadores del humor apoyandose en un corpus significativo de obras literarias de los autores de la "otra generacion del 27" con el proposito de comparar las bases teorico-humoristicas plasmadas en las obras de los cuatro autores seleccionados y determinar las semejanzas y divergencias en virtud de los parametros autor, genero y epoca. Todo ello, ademas, con el fin de comprobar la adecuacion del membrete que les ha sido asignado para identificarlos como grupo generacional.

The Humor of the Old South

The humor of the Old South -- tales, almanac entries, turf reports, historical sketches, gentlemen's essays on outdoor sports, profiles of local characters -- flourished between 1830 and 1860. The genre's popularity and influence can be traced in the works of major southern writers such as William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Harry Crews, as well as in contemporary popular culture focusing on the rural South. This collection of essays includes some of the past twenty five years' best writing on the subject, as well as ten new works bringing fresh insights and original approaches to the subject. A number of the essays focus on well known humorists such as Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Johnson Jones Hooper, William Tappan Thompson, and George Washington Harris, all of whom have long been recognized as key figures in Southwestern humor. Other chapters examine the origins of this early humor, in particular selected poems of William Henry Timrod and Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," which anticipate the subject matter, character types, structural elements, and motifs that would become part of the Southwestern tradition. Renditions of "Sleepy Hollow" were later echoed in sketches by William Tappan Thompson, Joseph Beckman Cobb, Orlando Benedict Mayer, Francis James Robinson, and William Gilmore Simms. Several essays also explore antebellum southern humor in the context of race and gender. This literary legacy left an indelible mark on the works of later writers such as Mark Twain and William Faulkner, whose works in a comic vein reflect affinities and connections to the rich lode of materials initially popularized by the Southwestern humorists.
Derived from the Arabic word for "lie," the word "chizbat" was chosen by members of the Palmah to designate the particular form of narrative joke exchanged by these volunteer defenders of Jewish settlements in Israel during the uncertain years 1941-48. Elliott Oring concentrates his attention on how the chizbat represents the expression of a distinctly Israeli identity and the disparate elements of this identity: sabra/European, Arab/Israeli, East/West. He shows how chizbat humor depends, not so much on novelty or punch line, as on displaying these incongruities of Israeli identity. Oring also discusses the sociocultural context in which the chizbat developed and examines how various theories of humor apply to understanding the chizbat. In an appendix invaluable for the folklorist, Oring has translated hundreds of chizbat into English. some are from written sources and others are verbal accounts he obtained during his months of research in Israel.
