Exploring the complex relationship between humour and social dynamics, the author challenges the notion that laughter is inherently positive. Through a compelling social theory, the book emphasizes the role of ridicule in various cultures as a tool for maintaining societal norms and conventions. It invites readers to reconsider the implications of humour in social interactions, suggesting that it can serve as both a unifying and disciplinary force within communities.
