Las categorías estéticas suelen ser imprecisas, pero mucho más lo son las que giran en torno al concepto de risa o humor. Esa imprecisión tiene varias causas: la primera es la no consideración de formas de comunicación previas al lenguaje oral articulado. La segunda causa es imponer a los fenómenos humorísticos un sentido único: alegre y liberador. Y un tercer error viene a suponer la risa como una excepción en un contexto de seriedad. La seriedad sería lo natural y la risa lo excepcional. Estos problemas conllevan la necesidad de una categorización unitaria y primordial, que dé cuenta de la gran evolución de los fenómenos culturales y de la escisión entre la cultura popular y la cultura sabia. A partir del concepto de grotesco, este artículo se refiere al alcance de los fenómenos de la risa en el contexto de la gran evolución cultural de la humanidad.

Aesthetic categories are usually imprecise, but much more so are those revolving around the concept of laughter or humor. This imprecision has several causes: The first is the failure to consider types of communication previous to that of oral language. The second is to impose a unique — joyful and liberating — meaning on humorous phenomena. And a third error is to suppose that laughter is an exception in a context of seriousness. Seriousness would be natural and laughter exceptional. These problems entail the need for a unitary and primordial categorization, which accounts for the great evolution of cultural phenomena and the split between popular culture and wise culture. From the concept of grotesque, this article addresses the scope of the phenomena of laughter in the context of the great cultural evolution of humanity. |
