Following social critic Erich Fromm (1900- 1980) I claim that disobedience is a dialectic concept: that is, it includes the possibilities both to affirm and to reject. This observation connects humor to other values, and pivotal is how humor is related to the question of what it means to be a human being. Through this insight, I argue that controversial humor may shock and be offensive, or it can be amusing and even have a cathartic effect. In the end, in evaluating humor it is necessary to analyze the values behind humor, that is, what humor obeys and what it disobeys.}, language = {en} } @article{Hietalahti, author = {Hietalahti, Jarno}, title = {Erich Fromm and Critical Humor Research}, series = {Fromm Forum (English Edition - ISSN 1437-1189), 20 / 2016, Tuebingen (Selbstverlag), pp. 41-49.}, volume = {e19/2016d}, journal = {Fromm Forum (English Edition - ISSN 1437-1189), 20 / 2016, Tuebingen (Selbstverlag), pp. 41-49.}, language = {en} } @article{Hietalahti, author = {Hietalahti, Jarno}, title = {Social Character (Fromm)}, series = {V.

Adorno back into dialogue by discussing the cultural phenomena of humor and laughter based on their theoretical writings. I argue that what is typically considered socially critical humor, like offensive jokes or harsh satire, often fails to meet the preconditions of criticism in the light of Adorno's and Fromm's thinking. Humor, to be socially critical, has to be life-affirmative and non-positional, and it has to challenge the limits of humor. It is also claimed that in this scope, humor cannot be instrumental.}, language = {en} }
