What is Jewish Humor? Exploring Wit and Humor in Freud
What is the secret of Jewish humor? Freud thinks that jokes must be 
distinguished from humor. A joke requires that someone is listening, but 
humor is a conflict between the ego and the superego. Through humor, the 
ego can be stronger than the superego. Max Kohn will present examples 
from his new book,/*/Vitsn: mots d'esprit yiddish et inconscient* 
(Limoges: Lambert-Lucas, 2008).
