Abstract

By invoking various theories of humour and the ideas of second wave feminism and postmodern philosophy, this chapter argues that the cornerstone of every movement is the ability to internalize the existence of the Other in our individual and collective world experience. The chapter examines how laughter manifests itself in the feminist movement, particularly focusing on laughter without content (transcendental laughter), as well as analyses incongruity and liberation theories and their value to the feminist discourse.
