The background of slapstick in Menander’s comedy: throwing objects, hitting, tripping, and comic falls

Greek literature has a background of slapstick resources (hits, falls, stumbling, throwing objects, and comic injuries) in various genres such as epic, iambic poetry, fable, and comedy.

La comedia de Menandro, en particular El Misántropo, hace uso profuso de esta serie de tópicos del humor físico para caracterizar al anciano Cnemón, su personaje central. En varias de sus obras, el slapstick se asocia específicamente al personajetipo del anciano gruñón. El Misántropo retoma claramente el uso punitivo tradicional del recurso, que resulta dominante en la  comedia de Aristófanes, en cuanto el slapstick apunta a castigar y transformar la conducta antisocial de Cnemón. No se trata de un recurso asociado al mero  entretenimiento, sino que condena a su víctima mediante el escarnio de la agresión y la risa, o bien a su victimario cuando ejerce una violencia descontextualizada, como lo hace el misántropo.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6743https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6743Copyright © 2021 Jimena SchereAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Co-herencia, Vol. 18, Núm. 35 (2021)The background of slapstick in Menander’s comedy: throwing objects, hitting, tripping, and comic fallsAntecedentes del slapstick en la comedia de Menandro: Lanzamiento de objetos, golpes, tropezones y caídas cómicasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Grumpy old manAncient Greek comedynew comedypunishmentslapstickAnciano gruñóncomedia griega antiguacomedia nuevapuniciónslapstickSchere, JimenaUniversidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche (UNAJ).
