Laughter After : Humor and the Holocaust
Laughter After: Humor and the Holocaust argues that humor performs political, cultural, and social functions in the wake of horror.Co-editors David Slucki, Gabriel N. Finder, and Avinoam Patt have assembled an impressive list of contributors who examine what is at stake in deploying humor in representing the Holocaust.Namely, what are the boundaries? Clearly, there have been comedy and laughter in the decades since.However, the extent to which humor can be ethically deployed in representing and discussing the Holocaust is not as clear.This book comes at an important moment in the trajectory of Holocaust memory.As the generation of survivors continues to dwindle, there is great concern among scholars and community leaders about how memories and lessons of the Holocaust will be passed to future generations.Without survivors to tell their stories, to serve as constant reminders of what they experienced, how will future generations understand and relate to the Shoah?Laughter After is divided into two sections: "Aftermath" and "Breaking Taboos." The contributors to this volume examine case studies from World War II to the present day in considering and reconsidering what role humor can play in the rehabilitation of survivors, of Jews and of the world more broadly.More recently, humor has been used to investigate the role that Holocaust memory plays in contemporary societies, while challenging memorial conventions around the Holocaust and helping shape the way we think about the past.In a world in which Holocaust memory is ubiquitous, even if the Holocaust itself is inadequately understood, it is perhaps not surprising that humor that invokes the Holocaust has become part of the memorial landscape.This book seeks to uncover how and why such humor is deployed, and what the factors are that shape its production and reception.Laughter After will appeal to a number of audiences-from students and scholars of Jewish and Holocaust studies to academics and general readers with an interest in media and performance studies.
