«Gülme: Komiğin Anlamı Üzerine Bir Deneme» is Henri Bergson's essay on comedy, published by Can Yayınları in paperback (112 pages, in Turkish).
Bergson analyzes laughter as a social phenomenon: he examines what makes something comic using examples from everyday life and the theater, and considers the comedy of character, situation and language. He argues that laughter corrects rigidity and automatism in individual behavior, thus serving a social adjustment function.
Work originally published in 1900 as «Le Rire». This Turkish edition, translated by Ayşen Sarı, dates from 2024.
Recommended for readers of philosophy, aesthetics and humor theory who want a classic analysis of the mechanism of laughter.
Henri-Louis Bergson was a French philosopher who was influential in the traditions of analytic philosophy and continental philosophy, especially during the first half of the 20th century until the Second World War, but also after 1966 when Gilles Deleuze published Le Bergsonisme.
