Abstract:This article reads the comedic after-school special John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch (Netflix 2019) alongside philosophical accounts of humour, comedy, and laughter—collectively, Humour—and elaborates upon how Sack Lunch repurposes the conceptual binary of adult and child, neither reinforcing nor denying its formative role in the relationship between people of diverse ages. Interpreted as what Ludwig Wittgenstein called a grammatical investigation (or a study of how language is used), Sack Lunch inhabits the ambiguous and artificial boundary between child and adult to trouble an overly familiar picture of growing up. In showing how children's and adults' Humour is alike in showing what is funny, or off, in our world, Sack Lunch is a non-instrumental example of Humour as a pedagogical resource. Because it exposes the sedimented conceptions underlying how intergenerational social relationships perpetuate socio-political injustices, children's Humour in particular warrants further attention by philosophers of humour.

Abstract:In this essay I discuss the Pop-Up against Coronavirus Project, initiated by the Fondazione Tancredi di Barolo based in Turin Italy. It is a research, conservation and educational foundation devoted to movable books, especially pop-up books. Their work with children is in conjunction with their museum of School and Children's books (Museo della Scuola e del Libro per l'Infanzia). When the outbreak of the coronavirus in Italy in late February 2020 prevented the academic conference they had organized from occurring, the foundation immediately turned their attention to working cross culturally with and for children, engaging Italian, Chinese and later Dutch artists and paper engineers to devise working models of different types of pop-ups. I give an account of the inception of the project, discuss the materials provided on their site, and examine some of the images of the homemade artifacts made by children and their families in Italy and China.
摘要:本文将讨论由意大利都灵的巴罗洛基金会发起的“对抗冠状病毒的弹出式”项目。它是一个研究、保护和教育基金会,致力于可移动书籍,尤其是立体书。他们的儿童工作与他们的学校和儿童书籍博物馆(Museo della Scuola e del Libro per l'Infanzia)相结合。2020年2月下旬,当意大利爆发冠状病毒导致他们组织的学术会议无法举行时,该基金会立即将注意力转向与儿童合作的跨文化工作,邀请意大利、中国和后来的荷兰艺术家和纸工程师设计不同类型弹出窗口的工作模型。我介绍了这个项目的开始,讨论了他们网站上提供的材料,并研究了意大利和中国的儿童及其家庭自制文物的一些图像。

Abstract:This article is a description of and a reflection upon the development of a gamification project on humour. Its creation was originally undertaken in collaboration with three students in the Intercultural Management (ICM) program at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France: Keizo Suzuki from Japan, Aigerim Daribayeva from Kazakhstan, and Stephan van de Ven from the Netherlands. This diverse team, in a for-credit project as part of their ICM master's program, worked under the direction of David Bousquet, who, with his colleague Alex Frame, had already supervised student teams on similar projects developing other games that have been published and are now being used for both organizational training and academic courses. These projects were accomplished in collaboration with George Simons International, a sole proprietorship that initiated the diversophy ® game series and which provided coaching, editing, and final production. After concluding this project, and in preparation for writing this article, Suzuki, Daribayeva, Van de Ven, and Bousquet were asked to provide a brief report of their insights and learning as well as to describe some of their experiences in conceiving, planning, and implementing the humour project. These reflections are interspersed throughout the article.
摘要:本文对幽默游戏化项目的发展进行了描述和反思。它最初是与法国第戎勃艮第大学跨文化管理(ICM)项目的三名学生合作创建的:来自日本的Keizo Suzuki,来自哈萨克斯坦的Aigerim Daribayeva和来自荷兰的Stephan van de Ven。这个多元化的团队在David Bousquet的指导下工作,David Bousquet和他的同事Alex Frame已经指导过类似项目的学生团队开发其他已经发行的游戏,这些游戏现在被用于组织培训和学术课程。这些项目是与乔治·西蒙斯国际公司合作完成的,这是一家独资企业,发起了多元化®游戏系列,并提供指导,编辑和最终制作。在完成这个项目之后,为了准备写这篇文章,Suzuki、Daribayeva、Van de Ven和Bousquet被要求提供他们的见解和学习的简短报告,以及描述他们在构思、计划和实施幽默项目方面的一些经验。这些思考穿插在整篇文章中。

Résumé:Notre contribution à ce numéro spécial sur le rire relève de la didactique de la littérature jeunesse. Notre objectif vise à présenter une grille détaillée des procédés humoristiques adoptés par divers auteurs et illustrateurs en les exemplifiant par des extraits tirés des textes et des illustrations de plusieurs albums. Ce qui nous a conduits à développer cette grille, c'est la constatation lors d'observations ethnographiques dans des classes du primaire de l'attrait des élèves envers les procédés humoristiques (Montésinos-Gelet), mais également du peu de mots dont ils disposent pour les décrire avec précision et ainsi mieux les apprécier. Nous avons donc recensé plusieurs catégorisations et nous sommes appuyées sur les six attraits du livre proposés par Joyce G. Saricks pour organiser notre grille. Nous avons ajouté deux attraits pour tenir compte des illustrations. Nous avons ainsi dégagé et catégorisé quatre registres dans lesquels se déploient onze types d'humour ainsi que douze variétés de comique auxquelles sont associés quarante-sept procédés.Abstract:Our contribution to this special issue on laughter comes from the didactics of children's literature. Our goal is to present a detailed checklist of the comedic devices used by various authors and illustrators and to provide examples with extracts from the texts and illustrations of multiple albums. We developed this checklist after realizing, during ethnographic observations in elementary schools, how attracted pupils are to comedic devices (Montésinos-Gelet), but also how few words they have to describe them precisely and thereby better appreciate them. We thus consulted multiple categorizations and relied on Joyce G. Saricks's six appeal elements of books to organize our checklist. We added two appeal elements to take into account the illustrations. We have thus drawn out and categorized four registers in which are spread out eleven types of humour as well as twelve varieties of comic expression to which are associated forty-seven comedic devices.

Abstract:This article examines the social and historical effects of laughter as stimulated by and depicted in Our Boys in the crucial years leading up to the Anglo-Irish War. Our Boys was a juvenile periodical edited by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, who aimed to teach Irish youth how to behave and articulate their interests within the terms of reference established by nationalist, Catholic discourse. Laughter was provoked and represented in Our Boys with this objective in mind and thus came to possess a formative and ideological dimension. The investigation focuses on how laughter in the periodical constructed both ideologies and subjectivities.
