Laughter, custom, and liberal societies (imitation of Renata Salecl)
This paper analyses why the female newscaster "suffers" from uncontrollable laughter in the 1989 Batman film, directed by Tim Burton. The paper is written as an imitation of philosopher-sociologist-psychoanalyst Renata Salecl and it considers three explanations. It also engages with Thomas Nagel on what it is like to be a bat.
