CAN SCIENCE BE WITTY? KARTONIERT (TB)

Can science be funny? takes a close look at an element of modern science communication that is
as innovative as it is promising for the future: comedy! Readers are guided through vividly
presented academic theory as well as exciting hands-on and best practice examples from renowned
practitioners and cabaret artists: - What do sheep's cheese and car tires have in common? - Can
laughter break down walls? - How does Die Anstalt work? - How does magic create knowledge?- Is
there humor in museums? - When a Dalmatian comes to the cash register - Three steps to humor -
Serving suggestion for the Holy Spirit - dictatorship of stupidity - And much more! But it's
not all just funny. Comedy can also take away some of the biting sharpness of criticism  making
it digestible  even palatable  for the addressees. Can Science Be Funny? navigates between
criticism and cabaret  tackling comedy in various guises from different perspectives. 22
contributions show how the results of science  research and technology can be brought to the
general public in new ways. In particular  they also demonstrate how humour can be used as a
critical and questioning force - valuable for all types of communication and helpful so that
they come across more shrewdly in the future. The translation was done with the help of the
artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The text has
subsequently been revised further by the original editors in order to refine the work
stylistically.
