After identifying a tendency to laugh at other people's foolishness, I will be reading texts by Robert Musil, Walter Pitkin, E.A.Poe, and H.P.Lovecraft, among others, and I will analyse the frequent charge of stupidity in its relation to the ways through which we reveal and describe ourselves as interpreters. %K Theory %K Literature %K Interpretation %K Comic %K Stupidity %U http://dosalgarves.com/index.php?option=com_jumi&fileid=4&Itemid=61&lang=pt&numrev=20
