| Résumé: | This video begins by introducing the thematic contributions on the famous adage ‘brevity is the soul of wit’. The eight contributions on the topic offer transhistorical and transcultural analyses which point out the formal and aesthetic aspects of certain forms, as well as the cultural context and political use of jokes and repartee by writers, screenwriters, political commentators or politicians. The guest editor then introduces the three contributions in the Varia section which give readers/viewers an inkling of the wealth of innovative research made possible by Angles and its online format. |
