Cadenza 2 humour as a sign of history

Andrea Poma

pp. 141-163

Abstract

Humour is a widely analysed topic in the theory of postmodernism, as a category that is not only aesthetic, but also historical and political, and even as a peculiar characteristic of the thought of difference, typical of postmodern culture, after the final parting from the metaphysical thought of identity and representation. Therefore the role played by humour in postmodernity is not at all minor, but fundamental and extremely significant.
