Why and what have we laughed at in the last two centuries? Is humor merely a means of provoking laughter and entertainment, or of communicating deeper ideas? What are and have been its limits? Spanish Laughter answers these and many other questions through an interdisciplinary study of Spanish humor from the Enlightenment to the present day, analyzing everything from literature and political satire to film and social networks.
“This volume is a fresh and significant contribution not only to the overall field of Hispanic Studies, but to numerous other disciplines such as humor studies, gender studies, journalism and studies in the Enlightenment. The editor and authors have presented an interdisciplinary mosaic that represents more than two centuries of humorous testimony.” Leticia Villamediana González, University of Warwick
