Description:

This book provides an alternative (better) way to understand the future of humor, especially in the dialectic context of joking and laughing-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other). Thus, this book offers a new theory (that is, the metamorphic theory of humor) to go beyond the existing approaches in the literature on humor in a novel way.
