Functions of Laughter in a Photolanguage© Group in Prison
Ravit, Magali
Functions of Laughter in a Photolanguage© Group in Prison - 2005.
24
The paper considers different facets of laughter based on an experiment on a photolanguage© group of women in jail. Laughter cannot be reduced to an experience of relieving: it questions the underpinng of the experience of satisfaction. The same as for a pyromaniac act, laughter allows to “correct” an unsatisfying reality. Laughter reflects situations in which the subject finds herself totally helpless, without being able to have access to an organization of urges, keeping with the experience of pleasure. Under this perspective, the author considers how the co-creative experience of laughter overlaps different kinds of shame that conceal actual experiences of collapse.
