How humor often relies on a rift between insiders and outsiders, whether in literary humor, popular humor, or folk humor. The stereotypical outsider figure who is the butt of the joke. How the object of a joke can use the stereotype to transform it: women as the butt of jokes versus feminist humor, where women find a comic voice; how African American humor allowed slaves to preserve a part of their heritage. The use of technology in circulating jokes.
