Re: A Marxist theory of Humor?



Just an aside: Bertell Ollman gave several lectures on "humor" as an
example of dialectical contradiction in action. Humor, as a category,
usually plays off of paradox, and for Ollman, it was often the best way
to illustrate dialectical methods. He is certainly no stranger to humor;
he produced a game board called: "Class Struggle."
