Humor as a philosophy of life in the chinese art movement of cynical realism and post new era literature

Summary/Abstract: This paper is trying to create a theoretical link between the way the concept of humor is conceptualized within the theoretical discourses on humor of China s post Avant garde emerging artistic trend called Cynical Realism and the literary movement called Neorealism. My analysis shall be based on the literary and visual art criticism proposed by the Chinese scholarship in the 90' s and on Chronicles of a Blood Merchant, a fiction novel written by Yu Hua.
