Abstract:

This book explores an important aspect of human existence: humor in
self-translation, a virtually unexplored area of research in Humour Studies
and Translation Studies. Of the select group of international scholars
contributing to this volume some examine literary texts from different
perspectives (sociological, philosophical, or post-colonial) while others
explore texts in more extraneous fields such as standup comedy or language
learning. This book sheds light on how humour in self-translation induces
thoughts on social issues, challenges stereotypes, contributes to recast
individuals in novel forms of identity and facilitates reflections on our own
sense of humour. This accessible and engaging volume is of interest to
advanced students of Humour Studies and Translation Studies.
