The series aims to publish high-quality research on a broad range of topics in humor studies, including irony and laughter. Topics include, but are not limited to, pragmatics, the sociology of humor, the psychology of humor, translation studies, literary studies, and studies of visual humor combining word and image. Since humor research encompasses a variety of disciplines, we welcome theoretical and methodological approaches from any of these disciplines, thereby including the humanities, as well as the social and cognitive sciences. Examples include, among others, philosophy, anthropology, cultural studies, linguistics, media and communication studies, psychology, neuroscience, and computer science. Mutual intelligibility of studies across these various domains is a goal to be pursued within the series.
The Editor of the new book series Topics in Humor Research invites submissions of book proposals from scholars working in any of the areas pertinent to humor research. Interdisciplinary research on humor is appreciated. Prospective authors are welcome to discuss beforehand possible submissions with the Editor: Ephraim Nissan ([email protected])
