Admittedly, he combines both artistic and theoretical approaches to the laughter, Kundera (and the author of the article) is interested mainly the first approach, literary one. In Kundera’s books laughter appears in many different ways, therefore author intentionally quotes a lot to give the floor to the writer. Attentive analysis of the citations and whole texts allows her to propose two lines of perception of this phenomenon: as a coincidentia oppositorum (part one: The Antipodes of Laughter) and as a “language”, specific way of communication (part two: »Dia- logues« (full of) Laughter).polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesslaughterridiculousnesssmilehumourcomedyKundera MilanArtykuł
