I am proposing to research the different forms, purposes, limits and evolution of war humour in French publications during the post-war period from the Normandy landings in June 1944 until the establishment of the Fourth Republic on 27th October, in France, a period that has never been studied from this perspective. My project will utilise publications in the Chadwyck-Healey Liberation Collection, whose scope is 1944 until 1946, along with other archives .An audit of the Liberation Collection and my knowledge of its contents reveal a relatively large proportion of humorous books (c.50-70): pictorial works, from watercolours to cartoons, prose, and poetry, ranging from camp humour to political satire. 'Humour and war' may seem an oxymoron, yet, these publications lead to questions on the uses of humour in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.Previous historical approaches appear to have paid insufficient attention to war and post-war humour in printed material, including how these works were published and received. There is, however, a strong emerging body of work on humour in the First World War, and on Book History, which will provide helpful points of reference to build my argument.Using John Morreall's and other works on the philosophy of humour (1986, 2009) I intend to enquire the purposes of early post-war humour as a strategy to accept the unacceptable, perhaps by providing a parody of the conflict to boost morale. Was humour in the transition following the Second World War in France 'a safety valve which allowed modified expression of people's worst fears, helping them to endure through present pain and in contemplation of unpredictable post-war future', as Jean-Yves Le Naour (2001) argues in his study of World War I humour?

我建议研究不同的形式，目的，限制和演变的战争幽默在法国出版物在战后时期从诺曼底登陆在1944年6月，直到成立第四共和国10月27日，在法国，一个时期，从来没有从这个角度研究。我的项目将利用查德威克-希利解放收藏中的出版物，其范围是1944年至1946年，沿着其他档案。对解放收藏的审计和我对其内容的了解显示了相对较大比例的幽默书籍（c.50-70）：绘画作品，从水彩画到漫画，散文和诗歌，从营地幽默到政治讽刺。“幽默与战争”似乎是一个矛盾修饰法，然而，这些出版物导致问题的使用幽默在第二次世界大战后不久，以前的历史方法似乎没有足够的重视印刷材料中的战争和战后幽默，包括这些作品是如何出版和接收。然而，关于第一次世界大战中的幽默和书籍历史的研究正在兴起，这将为我的论证提供有益的参考点。（1986年，2009年）我打算询问战后早期幽默的目的，作为一种接受不可接受的策略，也许是通过对冲突的滑稽模仿来鼓舞士气。法国二战后过渡时期的幽默是“一个安全阀，允许人们对最糟糕的恐惧进行修改表达，帮助他们忍受目前的痛苦，并思考不可预测的战后未来”，正如Jean-Yves Le Naour（2001）在他对一战幽默的研究中所说的那样吗？
