内容説明

From an 'interview' with 'Dr. Frieda Tingle, the world's leading expert on sex' to essays on 'Humor in the Eight-Pagers' and 'Gershon Legman, Lord of the Lewd,' this collection of words and images showcases the various aspects of humor and sexuality. A special exhibition of 'Sex and Humor' has been put together by The Kinsey Institute from its vast collection of silly greeting cards, naughty objects, cartoons, artwork, jokes, and toys. The goal is that the essays, the book as a whole, and the exhibition will serve as catalysts for further discussion about the nature of humour and its relationship to human sexual behaviour and expression.Four important scholarly essays dealing with various aspects of humour and sexuality make up the first part of this book: 'Sex and Humor: A Personal View,' by John Bancroft; 'Humor in the Eight-Pagers,' by Frank A. Hoffmann; 'The Capacity for Outrage: Feminism, Humor, and Sex,' by Leonore Tiefer; and 'Gershon Legman, Lord of the Lewd,' by Mikita Brottman. As an added attraction, Carol Tavris and Leonore Tiefer have contributed their exclusive 'interview' with 'Dr. Frieda Tingle, the world's leading expert on sex.' Then, to accompany the exhibition 'Sex and Humor: Selections from The Kinsey Institute' the book showcases forty-two duotone images from the exhibition, accompanied by short descriptive captions about the pieces. An overview of the renowned Kinsey collections by curator Catherine Johnson is provided, along with a checklist of the more than 165 photos, drawings, prints, novelty items, and other objects in the exhibition.
