See our selectionPocas cosas hay más serias que el humor. Como sucede con lo lúdico, el humor es algo que, a lo largo de la historia, constituye una parte esencial del imaginario –de ese imaginario genérico y de todos los específicos que lo conforman– que nos termina configurando como individuos-colectivo-sociedad.
Por eso, Acequia, de Amaury Colmenares, da en el clavo cuando nos dice: “La primera literatura, el primer uso impráctico de la palabra, fue el humor. Explicarles a los demás dónde golpear a un mamut para derribarlo estaba muy bien. Pero cuando uno logró narrar cómo su compañero de cacería se había enredado entre los pedos del mastodonte para terminar a un kilómetro del coto de caza, todo cubierto de caca mastodóntica, bueno, eso les dio el equivalente místico del fuego: la risa”.
