The Complexity of Workplace Humour: Laughter, Jokers and the Dark Side of Humour by Barbara Plester
English | PDF | 2016 | 179 Pages | ISBN : 3319246674 | 2.2 MB
This book discusses boundaries for organizational humour as well as the jokers and jesters that enliven modern workplaces. It has long been accepted that humour and tragedy can occupy the same space and that is eloquently demonstrated in this book. Using ethnographic research techniques, a selection of stories, ruminations, cartoons, and narratives of events is combined with theoretical conceptions of humour and fun to create a comprehensive analysis of the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in organizational humour.
