Cambridge University Press The Language of Humor
Book SynopsisMuch of today''s communication is carried out through various kinds of humor, and we therefore need to be able to understand its many aspects. Here, two of the world''s leading pioneers in humor studies, Alleen and Don Nilsen, explore how humor can be explained across the numerous sub-disciplines of linguistics. Drawing on examples from language play and jokes in a range of real-life contexts, such as art, business, marketing, comedy, creative writing, science, journalism and politics, the authors use their own theory of ''Features, functions and subjects of Humor'' to analyze humor across all disciplines. Each highly accessible chapter uses a rich array of examples to stimulate discussion and interaction even in large classes. Supplemental PowerPoints to accompany each of the 25 chapters are available online, taking many of the insights from the chapters for further interactional discussions with students.Trade Review'A hilarious romp through a cornucopia of examples on a dizzying variety of subjects.

Palgrave MacMillan Us The Evolution of Wildes Wit
Book SynopsisOscar Wilde's wit is foundational to his works, from his plays and novels to his self-defense at his trials. This book is a comprehensive account of Oscar Wilde's wit that focuses on discovering reasons for his critical success and ongoing legacy. Trade Review"A thoughtful, often quite delightful meditation upon Wilde, wit, and the nature of language in general." - S.I. Salamensky, author of The Modern Art of Influence and the Spectacle of Oscar Wilde "The Evolution of Wilde's Wit makes a powerful case for Wilde as a modern critical thinker, while it supplies an invaluable education in the history of wit and humor. Gantar clarifies the full implications of Wilde's epigrams, showing how they have always lived by exposing the tyrannical possibilities of language. Continuously graceful, Gantar's writing is also by turns meticulously accurate, entertaining, and profound." - Robert Combs, Professor, English, George Washington University, USA Table of Contents

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Philosophy of Lyric Voice
Book SynopsisCarefully considering the difference in the philosophical potential of page poetry and performance poetry, Karen Simecek argues that it is only by considering them side by side that the unique cognitive value of each can be realised. Focusing on spoken word poetry reveals the importance of voice and embodied words to the differing epistemic rewards of engaging with contemporary works of poetry in both private reading and live performance. This concept of embodied voice progresses a new line of thinking in the cognitivism debate and unlocks the philosophical value of engaging with poetry. Simecek's discussion of performed poetry also advances discussions of affect and experience in contemporary analytic aesthetics which raise new insights and connections within the field. The moral significance of the differing effects of poetry finds comprehensive articulation through a rich philosophical analysis of the thoughts and affects which arise in particular contexts. SimeceTrade ReviewIn this engaging and subtly argued study, Karen Simecek draws illuminating comparisons between poetry on the page and poetry in performance, shedding new light on the thought that both, in classical terms, can in their own ways “instruct” as well as give “pleasure”. * Peter Lamarque, Professor of Philosophy, University of York, UK *Focusing on contemporary poetry and bringing the lyric together with performance poetry, Karen Simecek’s fine book develops a conception of voice as a relational centering of perspective and demonstrates the cognitive value of poetry as embodied action, engaging readers and listeners in patterns of value and encouraging humility. * Jonathan Culler, Class of 1916 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, emeritus, Cornell University, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Philosophy of Lyric Voice 2. Reading Voices; Hearing Voices 3. A Sense of Us: Individual and Collective Voices 4. Embodied Voices 5. Poetic Cognitivism Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Developing a NeoPeircean Approach to Signs
Book SynopsisThis book takes up a number of Charles Sanders Peirce's undeveloped semiotic concepts and highlights their theoretical interest for a general semiotics. Peirce's career as a logician spanned almost half a century, during which time he produced several increasingly complex sign systems. The best-known, from 1903, defined amongst other things a signifying process involving sign, object and interpretant, the universally-known icon-index-symbol division and a set of 10 distinct classes of signs. Peirce subsequently expanded this process to include 2 objects, the sign and 3 interpretants. Uncoincidentally, in the 5 years between 1903 and the final system of 1908, he introduced a number of highly innovative semiotic concepts which he never developed. One such concept is hypoiconicity, which comprises 3 levels of isomorphism holding between sign and object and, in spite of the mutations these varieties of icon subsequently underwent, offers qualitative analysis as a complement to the tr

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Philosophy Freedom Language and their Others
Book SynopsisKantian and Hegelian conceptions of freedom guide this collection of essays that engage with the linguistic turn in continental philosophy to explore contemporary interpretations of freedom. Using a broad approach to the tradition of German Idealism, this volume considers its modern recasting of philosophy as a rigorous thinking practice with profound implications for individual and communal praxis and wellbeing.Philosophy, Freedom, Language, and its Others further cultivates and demonstrates the freedom to think and engage philosophy in a critical dialogue with other fields of inquiry. This method is exemplified in the philosophy and teaching of Professor Jere P. Surber, whom this book honors by using his interdisciplinary method as a springboard for new understandings of freedom in contemporary life. Expert scholars working in the philosophy of language, continental philosophy of religion, ancient philosophy, critical theory, and ethics engage seminal thinke

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Negative Hermeneutics and the Question of Practice
Book SynopsisHow do words and images function hermeneutically? How does hermeneutic practice work? Answering these questions and more, Nicholas Davey develops the hermeneutical foundations of creative practice. In doing so, he not only uncovers the significance of philosophical hermeneutics for the arts and the humanities, but defends the humanities as a whole from the current scepticism inspired by deconstruction and post-structuralism. Taking Gadamer's language ontology as its cue, this pioneering volume not only addresses certain weaknesses that Davey observes in Gadamer's thought but further takes Gadamerian thinking beyond Gadamer himself. In particular, Davey investigates the productive value of negativity that is central to hermeneutics and to wider spheres of creative learning. Advocating a renewed confidence in hermeneutics and the humanities, Negative Hermeneutics and the Question of Practice reveals how hermeneutical thinking provides a map of the dynamics within creative practice,
