A laughing is an event of alteration. Without alteration laughter wouldn’t be possible. This paper aims at describing laughter and alterity as intertwined phenomena. Therefore it investigates five different dimensions of alterity within the phenomenon of laughter. The source material for this study is provided by a series of monographs about laughter which were published during the 20th century: beginning with Henri Bergson’s Laughter, followed by Helmuth Plessner’s Laughing and Crying, Hans Blumenberg’s The Laughter of the Thracian Woman, Milan Kundera’s Book of Laughter and Forgetting and finally by Peter L. Berger’s Redeeming Laughter. By describing the social, corporal, historical, phenomenal and redeeming alterations of laughing a new performative ethical perspective on the phenomenon of laughter will be shown.

The article presents a study of a most interesting case of recent analysis of the cultural history of literature in Poland, in the form of a book by Witold Wojtowicz Między literaturą a kulturą. Studia o „literaturze mieszczańskiej” przełomy XVI i XVII wieku (Szczecin 2010). The text has been divided into four chapters. The first one contains an analysis of Wojtowicz’s book carried out by means devised for analysing an academic text according to Author-Network Theory (ANT). The second chapter presents the phenomenon mentioned in the title in its negative context, which is hermeneutics and its postulate of “fusion of horizons”. Finally, in the third and fourth chapter, there follows an analysis of how the author perceives the terms which are the most important for him and his book, as well as the cultural history of literature as a whole: culture and literature.

The article refers to the phenomenon of laughter present at the chosen writings of Milan Kundera. 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).
