摘要

摘要文学研究中一个常见的假设是，笑如果不是幽默的主要目标，那么它肯定是一个令人向往的、越来越必要的目标。难道还有没有幽默感的幽默吗？我认为，乡村语言和幽默是对家和归属感的追求，就像缅因州一样，当无法获得时，是对某种心态和简单生活实践的渴望和表达。以下这些故事和轶事为幽默提供了一个理由，幽默逐渐取代了幽默，将语言作为对家和归属的普遍探索：在缅因州时，语言是一种普遍的心态，专注于简单地过上有价值的人类生活的谦卑实践。

Wisdom Humor from Upcountry Maine

Abstract A common assumption in literary studies is that laughter is, if not the chief goal of humor, certainly a desirable and increasingly necessary one. Can there even be such a thing as humorless humor? I argue that upcountry language and humor are a search for home and belonging, literally as the State of Maine and, when unavailable, as a longing and expression of a certain state of mind and practice of simple living. These following stories and anecdotes make a case for a humor that gently displaces funny by FUN, using language as a universal search for home and belonging: literally when in the State of Maine, and universally as a state of mind that focusses on the humble practice of simply living a worthy human life.

期刊介绍： An established journal of reference inviting all critical approaches on the latest debates and issues in the field, Contemporary French & Francophone Studies (formerly known as SITES) provides a forum not only for academics, but for novelists, poets, artists, journalists, and filmmakers as well. In addition to its focus on French and Francophone studies, one of the journal"s primary objectives is to reflect the interdisciplinary direction taken by the field and by the humanities and the arts in general. CF&FS is published five times per year, with four issues devoted to particular themes, and a fifth issue, “The Open Issue” welcoming non-thematic contributions.
