Laughter, Power, and the Unconscious: Researching Emotional Responses in a Contemporary Audience Spectating Early Modern Comedy at Shakespeare's Globe - Audience Research
Maria Grazia Turri
Laughter, Power, and the Unconscious presents groundbreaking research on humor's psychological and sociopolitical aspects. Based on Shakespeare's Globe experiments, it proposes humor as "manic defence," challenging Freudian theory while examining Renaissance comedy and exploring how humor both subverts and reinforces power structures.
