«Le rire et le sacré: histoire de la dérision» is the essay by Bernard Sarrazin, published by Desclée de Brouwer in paperback (92 pages, in French).
The essay studies the relationship between laughter and the sacred throughout history and culture. Sarrazin analyses how humour can function as subversion and social criticism and, at the same time, as a path of connection with the divine, looking at manifestations ranging from the medieval carnival to contemporary humour and its link with the beliefs and values of each society.
The work is part of the Passions collection by Desclée de Brouwer, published in Paris.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, religion and the cultural history of humour.
