Laughter and Ridicule: Towards a Social Critique of Humour - Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society
Michael Billig
This delightful, thought-provoking book tackles head-on the assumption that laughter and humour are necessarily good in themselves. The author proposes a social theory that places humour central to social life. Billig argues that all cultures use ridicule as a disciplinary means to uphold norms of conduct and conventions of meaning.
