El humor en traducción [Humor in translation]

Jeroen Vandaele
Translated by Martha Pulido
Tabla de contenidos

A primera vista, el humor es fácil de definir. El humor entretiene, provoca alegría, sonrisas y carcajadas espontáneas. Y parece ser que el humor es un fenómeno característico de los humanos “pues reír es propio del hombre” decía François Rabelais. Aún así, la investigación moderna no confirma esta simplicidad prima facie. A pesar de que el humor está íntimamente relacionado con la risa, no es cierto que el humor y la risa sean igualmente propios del ser humano. Una forma rápida para elucidar el concepto de humor es precisamente analizar su relación con la risa.
