Modern Classics Joke and Its Relation To the Unconscious (Penguin Modern Classics)

In Stock.

Freud argues that the "joke-work" is intimately related to the "dream-work" which he had analyzed in detail in his Interpretation of Dreams, and that jokes (like all forms of humor) attest to the fundamental orderliness of the human mind.

While in this book Freud tells some good stories with his customary verve and economy, its point is wholly serious.

Unbelievable, Freud!

May 25, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Here we have Freud showing off his bag of jokes; the man had an odd taste, even for 1905 (?). He goes about explaining the joke-techniques, motives and… well, the amusing thing is that he dared to explain all this crap to us. Unbelievable, Freud! :-)

How You Need to Read Freud.

Reading Freud from this book is to read him anew and leave out all the "wild psychoanalysis" psychobabble.

Dated but interesting

February 9, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is much better than Freud's book about humor and wit. Here he shares some interesting ideas about humor. But humor doesn't seem to cross time zones. Something funny in 1900 may not be in 2013. Peter Berger has a much better social science understanding of humor. I suggest looking him up instead of reading Freud on humor or watching the Allan King's VHS (not yet in DVD), The College of Comedy where he interviews Tim Conway, Buddy Hackett, Paul Rodriquez, or Judy Gold. Or watch the masters, Richard Pryor, Charles Chaplin, Louie C.K. I wonder what Freud would have thought of them.

I don't know how many times I turn to this essay. It's not his most important work but it can be a very essential piece of academic literature.

Scholarly but a bit disappointing in the end

January 3, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A great admirer of Freud recommended this book to me as perhaps the best of his many writings. Thus, my expectations were high and, perhaps because of that, I ended up a bit disappointed.

Freud analyzes the nature of humor, and specifically of jokes. Not surprisingly to those who know his other work, he finds that jokes work by releasing tension in the subconscious.

Freud argues cohesively and pursuasively - if one is prepared to follow his rather lengthy arguments. His examples are often the easier part of the reading and these are interesting and sometimes funny, although truth be told, it was mostly interesting to discover how lame many of the jokes are that in 19th century apparently were considered hilarious.

In the end, I found this reading interesting but not more than that, and did not come away with any particular new insights or ideas. For the afficianado this book is certainly a must. For the more peripherally interested, it would probably not be the first choice.
