Meeting Description:

Dr. Reinhold Aman, the celebrated and controversial expert on vulgar and
offensive language, died on March 2, 2019 at the age of 82.  An outcast from
established academia, Aman founded Maledicta: The International Research
Center for the Study of Verbal Aggression, and served as the full-time editor
of its eponymous journal.  Published in a time before there were any dedicated
humor studies journals, Maledicta ended up serving as a venue for the
dissemination of some notable humor research, including works by Don Nilsen,
Victor Raskin, and Leonard Feinberg.  Aman's notability in both lay and
scholarly circles led to his being invited to deliver the keynote address at
the first conference of the World Humor and Irony Memborship (WHIM) in 1982.
Co-organizers Don and Alleen Nilsen credit Aman's attendance at WHIM with
''giving us the news coverage we needed in order to later become the
International Society for Humor Studies''.

The present panel covers any and all aspects of aggressive, abusive, and
obscene language as it relates to humor.  This includes, but is not limited
to, aggression-based theories of verbal humor; ribald, bawdy, lewd,
''tasteless'', or obscene humor; racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive jokes;
and witty insults and put-downs.


Call for Papers:

Abstracts of up to 250 words should be submitted on the ISHS 2022 website at
https://eventi.unibo.it/ishs-2022/ by May 1, 2022.  Authors of accepted
abstracts will be invited to give an online or in-person presentation
(tentatively 30 minutes long: a 20-minute talk + 10 minutes for questions) at
the conference.

Contributors are encouraged to make specific reference to works written by
Aman or published in Maledicta.  Authors are also encouraged to frame their
work in a manner consistent with Aman's scholarly but anti-''cacademic''
vision for Maledicta: contributions should aim to be at once erudite and
entertaining; sagacious but not self-absorbed.
